Hereditary ataxia

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 9 more specific codes instead:

G11.0 Congenital nonprogressive ataxia
G11.1 Early-onset cerebellar ataxia (also a header)
G11.2 Late-onset cerebellar ataxia
G11.3 Cerebellar ataxia with defective DNA repair
G11.4 Hereditary spastic paraplegia
G11.5 Hypomyelination - hypogonadotropic hypogonadism - hypodontia
G11.6 Leukodystrophy with vanishing white matter disease
G11.8 Other hereditary ataxias
G11.9 Hereditary ataxia, unspecified

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Hereditary ataxia
