  2. Summary – The blog discusses the medical codes used for reporting diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy. Medical Codes to Report Epilepsy A common neurological disorder that can affect men and women of all age groups, epilepsy is characterized by two or more unprovoked seizures. The condition occurs due to abnormal brain activity and causes seizures or periods of unusual behaviour, sensations and sometimes, loss of awareness. Treatment for this condition involves a combination of medications and surgery. Neurologists need to carefully understand the medical history of the patient and assess brain imaging results to analyze the abnormal patterns of electrical activity in the brain. Specificity in the diagnosis is essential for accurate clinical documentation and delivering excellent patient care. Medical billing services can ensure accurate reporting of diagnosis and treatment of this neurological disorder on claims.
