G82 is a "header" nonspecific and non-billable code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis). The code is NOT valid for the year 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

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 guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code G82:

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

• congenital cerebral palsy G80
• functional quadriplegia R53.2
• hysterical paralysis F44.4

• This category is to be used only when the listed conditions are reported without further specification, or are stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause. The category is also for use in multiple coding to identify these conditions resulting from any cause

Clinical Information

• PARAPLEGIA-. severe or complete loss of motor function in the lower extremities and lower portions of the trunk. this condition is most often associated with spinal cord diseases although brain diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; and muscular diseases may also cause bilateral leg weakness.
• SPASTIC PARAPLEGIA HEREDITARY-. a group of inherited diseases that share similar phenotypes but are genetically diverse. different genetic loci for autosomal recessive autosomal dominant and x linked forms of hereditary spastic paraplegia have been identified. clinically patients present with slowly progressive distal limb weakness and lower extremity spasticity. peripheral sensory neurons may be affected in the later stages of the disease. j neurol neurosurg psychiatry 1998 jan;641:61 6; curr opin neurol 1997 aug;104:313 8
• PARAPARESIS TROPICAL SPASTIC-. a subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the caribbean colombia india and africa as well as in the southwestern region of japan; associated with infection by human t cell leukemia virus i. clinical manifestations include a slowly progressive spastic weakness of the legs increased reflexes babinski signs incontinence and loss of vibratory and position sensation. on pathologic examination inflammatory demyelination and necrotic lesions may be found in the spinal cord. adams et al. principles of neurology 6th ed p1239
