G52

Disorders of other cranial nerves

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 7 more specific codes instead:

  • G52.0 Disorders of olfactory nerve
  • G52.1 Disorders of glossopharyngeal nerve
  • G52.2 Disorders of vagus nerve
  • G52.3 Disorders of hypoglossal nerve
  • G52.7 Disorders of multiple cranial nerves
  • G52.8 Disorders of other specified cranial nerves
  • G52.9 Cranial nerve disorder, 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.
