Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Systemic atrophies primarily affecting the central nervous system
      (G10-G14)
      • Systemic atrophies primarily affecting central nervous system in diseases classified elsewhere
        (G13)

G13 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of systemic atrophies primarily affecting central 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.

Specific Coding Applicable to Systemic atrophies aff cnsl in diseases classd elswhr

Non-specific codes like G13 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 systemic atrophies aff cnsl in diseases classd elswhr:

  • Use G13.0 for Paraneoplastic neuromyopathy and neuropathy - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G13.1 for Other systemic atrophy primarily affecting central nervous system in neoplastic disease - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G13.2 for Systemic atrophy primarily affecting the central nervous system in myxedema - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use G13.8 for Systemic atrophy primarily affecting central nervous system in other diseases classified elsewhere - BILLABLE CODE

Brain Diseases

Your brain is the control center of your body. It controls your thoughts, memory, speech, and movement. It regulates the function of many organs. It's part of your nervous system, which also includes your spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The nervous system sends signals between your brain and the rest of the body. Your nerves take in information from your senses and send it to the brain to be processed. Your brain and nerves also communicate to help you move and to control your body's functions.

When the brain is healthy, it works quickly and automatically. But when you have a brain disease, it may affect how well you can function and do your daily activities. Some common brain diseases include:

  • Brain tumors, which can press on nerves and affect brain function.
  • Degenerative nerve diseases, which can affect many of your body's activities, such as balance, movement, talking, breathing, and heart function. Types include Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.
  • Encephalitis (inflammation in the brain), which can lead to problems such as vision loss, weakness, and paralysis.
  • Genetic brain disorders, which are caused by changes in genes (also called variants or mutations). These disorders can affect the development and function of the brain.
  • Strokes, which can cause a loss of brain cells and can affect your ability to think clearly.
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), which can affect brain function. They may range from mild to severe. The effects of a TBI may be temporary or permanent.

The symptoms of brain diseases vary widely, depending on the specific problem. In some cases, damage is permanent. In other cases, treatments such as surgery, medicines, or therapies such as physical, occupational, and speech therapies, may cure the disease or improve the symptoms.
