Other and unspecified polyneuropathies (G62) ICD-10-CM

The G62 code range covers other and unspecified polyneuropathies with 9 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 7 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.

Clinical Terms in This Code Range

Definitions from the National Library of Medicine for conditions coded in the G62 range.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)

Lyme Neuroborreliosis

Nervous system infections caused by tick-borne spirochetes of the BORRELIA BURGDORFERI GROUP. The disease may affect elements of the central or peripheral nervous system in isolation or in combination. Common clinical manifestations include a lymphocytic meningitis, cranial neuropathy (most often a facial neuropathy), POLYRADICULOPATHY, and a mild loss of memory and other cognitive functions. Less often more extensive inflammation involving the central nervous system (encephalomyelitis) may occur. In the peripheral nervous system, B. burgdorferi infection is associated with mononeuritis multiplex and polyradiculoneuritis. (From J Neurol Sci 1998 Jan 8;153(2):182-91)

Polyradiculoneuropathy, Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating

A slowly progressive autoimmune demyelinating disease of peripheral nerves and nerve roots. Clinical manifestations include weakness and sensory loss in the extremities and enlargement of peripheral nerves. The course may be relapsing-remitting or demonstrate a step-wise progression. Protein is usually elevated in the spinal fluid and cranial nerves are typically spared. GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME features a relatively rapid progression of disease which distinguishes it from this condition. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1337)

Polyradiculopathy

Disease or injury involving multiple SPINAL NERVE ROOTS. Polyradiculitis refers to inflammation of multiple spinal nerve roots.

Small Fiber Neuropathy

Disorder of the peripheral nerves that primarily impair small nerve fibers. The affected small nerve fibers include myelinated A-delta fibers (see A FIBERS) and unmyelinated C FIBERS. Because these small fibers innervate skin and help control autonomic function, their neuropathy presents with neuropathic pain, reduced thermal and pain sensitivity, and autonomic dysfunction (e.g. abnormal sweating or facial flushing). Small fiber neuropathy can be idiopathic or associated with underlying diseases (e.g., AMYLOIDOSIS; DIABETES MELLITUS; SARCOIDOSIS; or VASCULITIS).

Spinal Nerve Roots

Paired bundles of NERVE FIBERS entering and leaving the SPINAL CORD at each segment. The dorsal and ventral nerve roots join to form the mixed segmental spinal nerves. The dorsal roots are generally afferent, formed by the central projections of the spinal (dorsal root) ganglia sensory cells, and the ventral roots are efferent, comprising the axons of spinal motor and PREGANGLIONIC AUTONOMIC FIBERS.

About the G62 Code Range

ICD-10 code section G62 covers a group of disorders known as other and unspecified polyneuropathies, which involve damage to multiple peripheral nerves. These codes are used to specify various causes and types of polyneuropathy, such as those induced by drugs, toxins, alcohol, or other specific conditions when the exact cause is unclear.

This section includes codes like G62.0 for drug-induced polyneuropathy, which relates to nerve damage from medications such as chemotherapy drugs (e.g., vincristine, methotrexate) or toxic substances. G62.1 identifies alcoholic polyneuropathy, referring to nerve damage from chronic alcohol use. Toxic exposures other than drugs, such as heavy metals or venoms, are coded under G62.2. For less common types, G62.8 and its subcodes specify other forms like critical illness polyneuropathy (G62.81) and radiation-induced polyneuropathy (G62.82). When the neuropathy is diagnosed but the cause remains unspecified, G62.9 is applied. Recognizing these distinctions helps healthcare professionals accurately report and manage diverse polyneuropathy conditions with ICD-10 coding.

Questions About This Page

How many billable codes are in the G62 range?
