ICD-10-CM G62.1
CMSSource: CMS FY 2027 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2026 – Sep 30, 2027

G62.1 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for alcoholic polyneuropathy. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 73 through 74. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Alcohol-related disorders and Polyneuropathies.

G62.1 no longer risk-adjusts for Medicare Advantage: it mapped to HCC 75 under the retired CMS-HCC V24 model through payment year 2025 but maps to no category in the live V28 model. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 75, ESRD (V21) category 75, ESRD (V24) category 75, and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 158 for payment year 2027.

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)

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Alcoholic Neuropathy

    a condition where damage to the peripheral nervous system (including the peripheral elements of the autonomic nervous system) is associated with chronic ingestion of alcoholic beverages. the disorder may be caused by a direct effect of alcohol, an associated nutritional deficiency, or a combination of factors. clinical manifestations include variable degrees of weakness; atrophy; paresthesias; pain; loss of reflexes; sensory loss; diaphoresis; and postural hypotension. (from arch neurol 1995;52(1):45-51; adams et al., principles of neurology, 6th ed, p1146)

Patient EducationClinical

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

For most adults, moderate alcohol use is probably not harmful. Your risk of developing an alcohol use disorder (AUD) depends on how much, how often, and how quickly you drink alcohol. Alcohol misuse means that drinking causes distress and harm. Over time alcohol misuse can increase your risk of AUD.

Questions About G62.1Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for alcoholic polyneuropathy?

The ICD-10-CM code for alcoholic polyneuropathy is G62.1 (sometimes written as G621). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is G62.1 (Other and unspecified polyneuropathies) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report alcoholic polyneuropathy on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does G62.1 group to?

When alcoholic polyneuropathy is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 74, 73, with relative weights from 1.0172 to 1.5773 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can G62.1 be reported with M79.2?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block G60-G65, which applies to G62.1, 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).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of G62.1?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, alcoholic polyneuropathy converts to ICD-9-CM 357.5 (alcoholic polyneuropathy). The mapping is a direct match.

Does G62.1 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Not for Medicare Advantage. G62.1 mapped to HCC 75 in the retired CMS-HCC V24 model, which last determined payment in 2025, but it maps to no category in the live V28 model; see all codes that no longer risk-adjust. It still risk-adjusts in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22) category 75 (Myasthenia Gravis/Myoneural Disorders and Guillain-Barre Syndrome/Inflammatory and Toxic Neuropathy), ESRD (V21) category 75 (Polyneuropathy), ESRD (V24) category 75 (Myasthenia Gravis/Myoneural Disorders and Guillain-Barre Syndrome/Inflammatory and Toxic Neuropathy), and RxHCC Part D (V08) category 158 (Inflammatory and Toxic Neuropathy).
