Other and unspecified myopathies

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:

  • G72.0 Drug-induced myopathy
  • G72.1 Alcoholic myopathy
  • G72.2 Myopathy due to other toxic agents
  • G72.3 Periodic paralysis
  • G72.4 Inflammatory and immune myopathies, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • G72.8 Other specified myopathies (also a header)
  • G72.9 Myopathy, 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.
