2021 ICD-10-CM Code G64
Other disorders of peripheral nervous system
Valid for Submission
G64 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of other disorders of peripheral nervous system. The code G64 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code G64 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like dermatosis secondary to peripheral nerve disorder, disorder of peripheral nervous system co-occurrent with human immunodeficiency virus infection, disorder of the peripheral nervous system, peripheral nerve disease, peripheral nerve disorder associated with repair of hernia , skin damage resulting from acquired nerve disorder, etc.

Code Classification
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code G64:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Disorder of peripheral nervous system NOS
Index to Diseases and Injuries
The Index to Diseases and Injuries is an alphabetical listing of medical terms, with each term mapped to one or more ICD-10 code(s). The following references for the code G64 are found in the index:
- - Disorder (of) - See Also: Disease;
- - peripheral nervous system NEC - G64
Approximate Synonyms
The following clinical terms are approximate synonyms or lay terms that might be used to identify the correct diagnosis code:
- Dermatosis secondary to peripheral nerve disorder
- Disorder of peripheral nervous system co-occurrent with human immunodeficiency virus infection
- Disorder of the peripheral nervous system
- Peripheral nerve disease
- Peripheral nerve disorder associated with repair of hernia
- Skin damage resulting from acquired nerve disorder
Convert G64 to ICD-9 Code
The General Equivalency Mapping (GEM) crosswalk indicates an approximate mapping between the ICD-10 code G64 its ICD-9 equivalent. The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 code and the ICD-9 code and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Information for Patients
Peripheral Nerve Disorders
Also called: Neuritis, Peripheral neuritis, Peripheral neuropathy
Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like Guillain-Barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.
Symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include
- Numbness
- Pain
- Burning or tingling
- Muscle weakness
- Sensitivity to touch
Treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.
