ICD-10 Code for rare neurodevelopmental disorders and DEEs
Dear fellow healthcare professionals, patient advocates, and policymakers,
I am writing to urge your support for the establishment of an ICD-10 code for rare genetic epilepsies. As you may know, rare genetic epilepsies are a group of debilitating disorders that affect a small but significant portion of the population. These disorders are often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, leading to delayed treatment and unnecessary suffering for patients and their families.
The establishment of a specific ICD-10 code for rare genetic epilepsies would help to improve the accuracy of diagnosis and facilitate access to appropriate treatments and support services. It would also promote greater awareness and understanding of these disorders among healthcare professionals, policymakers, and the general public.
I urge you to join in advocating for the establishment of an ICD-10 code for rare genetic epilepsies. Together, we can help to improve the lives of the millions of people around the world who are affected by these devastating disorders.
Thank you for your support.
