G62 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other and unspecified polyneuropathies, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as G62.0, G62.1, G62.2, and G62.81.

Specific Coding for Other and unspecified polyneuropathiesOverview

Non-specific codes like G62 require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • Use G62.0 for Drug-induced polyneuropathy

  • Use G62.1 for Alcoholic polyneuropathy

  • Use G62.2 for Polyneuropathy due to other toxic agents

  • G62.8 for Other specified polyneuropathies

  • Use G62.81 for Critical illness polyneuropathy

  • Use G62.82 for Radiation-induced polyneuropathy

  • Use G62.89 for Other specified polyneuropathies

  • Use G62.9 for Polyneuropathy, unspecified

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to G62: its own notes plus those printed at block G60-G65 and Chapter 6. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

From Block G60-G65 Polyneuropathies and other disorders of the peripheral nervous system applies to 24 codes

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

From Chapter 6 (G00-G99) Diseases of the nervous system applies to 700 codes
  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

Peripheral Nerve Disorders

Nerves are like wires that carry messages back and forth between your brain and your body. Your peripheral nerves branch off from your brain and spinal cord and connect to all parts of your body, including your muscles and organs.

Questions About G62Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other and unspecified polyneuropathies?

G62 is the ICD-10-CM category for other and unspecified polyneuropathies, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is G62 (Other and unspecified polyneuropathies) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other and unspecified polyneuropathies, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other and unspecified polyneuropathies need a more specific code from this category, such as G62.0, G62.1, and G62.2.

Can G62 be reported with M79.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block G60-G65, which applies to G62, lists "neuralgia NOS (M79.2)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
