I am assuming you are wanting to know the ICD 9 code for carpal tunnel. ICD 9 coding is the process of assigning a numerical code to a written description of a diagnosis. This is what medical offices use to bill you and your insurance company and it's important the numbers are right, because huge differences can exist if the numbers are off by just one digit!

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)ICD 9 code is 354.0.

Neuritis unspecified of the upper limb code is 354.9 ( this is sometimes used if they are not sure it's CTS).
