Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Polyneuropathies and other disorders of the peripheral nervous system
      (G60-G65)
      • Other and unspecified polyneuropathies
        (G62)

G62 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other and unspecified polyneuropathies. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like G62 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other and unspecified polyneuropathies

Non-specific codes like G62 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for other and unspecified polyneuropathies:

  • Use G62.0 for Drug-induced polyneuropathy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.1 for Alcoholic polyneuropathy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.2 for Polyneuropathy due to other toxic agents - BILLABLE CODE

  • G62.8 for Other specified polyneuropathies - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.81 for Critical illness polyneuropathy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.82 for Radiation-induced polyneuropathy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.89 for Other specified polyneuropathies - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G62.9 for Polyneuropathy, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
