G83

Other paralytic 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 8 more specific codes instead:

  • G83.0 Diplegia of upper limbs
  • G83.1 Monoplegia of lower limb (also a header)
  • G83.2 Monoplegia of upper limb (also a header)
  • G83.3 Monoplegia, unspecified (also a header)
  • G83.4 Cauda equina syndrome
  • G83.5 Locked-in state
  • G83.8 Other specified paralytic syndromes (also a header)
  • G83.9 Paralytic syndrome, 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.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

This code

Includes

  • paralysis (complete) (incomplete), except as in G80-G82

Note

  • This category is to be used only when the listed conditions are reported without further specification, or are stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause. The category is also for use in multiple coding to identify these conditions resulting from any cause.
