Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Polyneuropathies and other disorders of the peripheral nervous system
      (G60-G65)
      • Polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere

Clinical Classification

Clinical Information

  • Pellagra

    a disease due to deficiency of niacin, a b-complex vitamin, or its precursor tryptophan. it is characterized by scaly dermatitis which is often associated with diarrhea and dementia (the three d's).

  • Herpesvirus 2, Gallid

    the type species of the genus mardivirus in the family herpesviridae. it is the etiologic agent of marek disease, infecting domestic fowl and wild birds.

  • Neurolymphomatosis

    infiltration of the nervous system by malignant lymphoma cells.

  • POEMS Syndrome

    a multisystemic disorder characterized by a sensorimotor polyneuropathy (polyneuropathies), organomegaly, endocrinopathy, monoclonal gammopathy, and pigmentary skin changes. other clinical features which may be present include edema; cachexia; microangiopathic glomerulopathy; pulmonary hypertension (hypertension, pulmonary); cutaneous necrosis; thrombocytosis; and polycythemia. this disorder is frequently associated with osteosclerotic myeloma. (from adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1335; rev med interne 1997;18(7):553-62)

  • Uremic Neuropathy

    neuropathy resulting from uremia.

  • Toxic Polyneuropathy

    polyneuropathy that is caused by exposure to toxins.

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.


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.

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.

Code Edits

The Medicare Code Editor (MCE) detects and reports errors in the coding of claims data. The following ICD-10-CM Code Edits are applicable to this code:

  • Manifestation diagnoses - Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis.

Convert G63 to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 357.4 - Neuropathy in other dis
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes

[1] Chronic - a chronic condition code indicates a condition lasting 12 months or longer and its effect on the patient based on one or both of the following criteria:

  • The condition results in the need for ongoing intervention with medical products,treatment, services, and special equipment
  • The condition places limitations on self-care, independent living, and social interactions.
