      • Other degenerative disorders of nervous system in diseases classified elsewhere
        (G32)

G32.8 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 specified degenerative disorders of nervous system in diseases classified elsewhere. 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.

Code First

Code First
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
  • underlying disease, such as:
  • amyloidosis cerebral degeneration E85
  • cerebral degeneration due to hypothyroidism E00.0 E03.9
  • cerebral degeneration due to neoplasm C00 D49
  • cerebral degeneration due to vitamin B deficiency, except thiamine E52 E53

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • superior hemorrhagic polioencephalitis Wernicke's encephalopathy E51.2
