Specific Coding Applicable to Other paralytic syndromes

Non-specific codes like G83 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 paralytic syndromes:

  • Use G83.0 for Diplegia of upper limbs - BILLABLE CODE

  • G83.1 for Monoplegia of lower limb - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.10 for Monoplegia of lower limb affecting unspecified side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.11 for Monoplegia of lower limb affecting right dominant side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.12 for Monoplegia of lower limb affecting left dominant side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.13 for Monoplegia of lower limb affecting right nondominant side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.14 for Monoplegia of lower limb affecting left nondominant side - BILLABLE CODE

  • G83.2 for Monoplegia of upper limb - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.20 for Monoplegia of upper limb affecting unspecified side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.21 for Monoplegia of upper limb affecting right dominant side - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G83.22 for Monoplegia of upper limb affecting left dominant side - BILLABLE CODE
