Syncope ICD-10-CM Codes

Yes. There are a few. We suggest you don’t use them because they aren’t specific and are invalid.

There are many tests that can help diagnose syncope, such as exercise stress tests, head-up tilt test, EKGs, echocardiograms, ambulatory monitors, CT scans, and even neurological evaluations.

It depends on the cause, but treatment can involve the use of medication (such as midodrine), wearing certain garments or compressions stockings to improve blood circulation in the body, dietary adjustments (more salt, more fluid intake, more potassium-based food, and less or no intake of alcohol and caffeine), and avoiding situations that can trigger syncope.
