Code Classification

  • Diseases of the nervous system
    (G00–G99)
    • Cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes
      (G80-G83)
      • Paraplegia and quadriplegia (quadriparesis) (G82)
        (paraparesis)

G82.50 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of quadriplegia, unspecified. 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 G82.50 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.

  • Quadriplegia

    severe or complete loss of motor function in all four limbs which may result from brain diseases; spinal cord diseases; peripheral nervous system diseases; neuromuscular diseases; or rarely muscular diseases. the locked-in syndrome is characterized by quadriplegia in combination with cranial muscle paralysis. consciousness is spared and the only retained voluntary motor activity may be limited eye movements. this condition is usually caused by a lesion in the upper brain stem which injures the descending cortico-spinal and cortico-bulbar tracts.
