Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes
      (G80-G83)
      • Hemiplegia and hemiparesis
        (G81)

G81.93 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right nondominant side. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like G81.93 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
