VA Diagnostic Codes

This reference uses VA rating codes. For a code from a medical record, check ICD-10-CM and the service date. A clinical code alone does not establish a VA rating or a matching VA diagnostic code.

Search the current source-verified VASRD catalog by diagnostic code, official title, Appendix C index term, or body system. Historical and removed identities remain searchable and are clearly labeled.
