Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Nerve, nerve root and plexus disorders
      (G50-G59)
      • Mononeuropathies of lower limb
        (G57)

G57 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of mononeuropathies of lower limb. 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.

Specific Coding Applicable to Mononeuropathies of lower limb

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries

The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.


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.
