G12

Spinal muscular atrophy and related syndromes

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 5 more specific codes instead:

  • G12.0 Infantile spinal muscular atrophy, type I [Werdnig-Hoffman]
  • G12.1 Other inherited spinal muscular atrophy
  • G12.2 Motor neuron disease (also a header)
  • G12.8 Other spinal muscular atrophies and related syndromes
  • G12.9 Spinal muscular atrophy, 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.
