The ICD-10 Code for Quadriplegia is G82. 50.
Quadriplegia refers to paralysis from the neck down, including the trunk, legs and arms. The condition is typically caused by an injury to the spinal cord that contains the nerves that transmit messages of movement and sensation from the brain to parts of the body.
Daily tasks: With help of some specialized equipment, can perform with greater ease and independence, daily tasks of feeding, bathing, grooming, personal hygiene and dressing. May independently perform light housekeeping duties. Health care: Can independently do pressure reliefs, skin checks and turn in bed.
A C6 spinal cord injury affects the cord near the base of the neck. Injuries to this area of the spinal cord can result in loss of sensation or function of everything in the body from the top of the ribcage on down, including all four extremities.
What Motor Function is Consistent with C5? The nerve root of C5 runs between vertebrae C4 and C5. Motor function includes: movement of the deltoid (abduction of arm - movement of the arm at shoulder away from midline)
Brown-Séquard syndrome is a rare spinal disorder that results from an injury to one side of the spinal cord in which the spinal cord is damaged but is not severed completely. It is usually caused by an injury to the spine in the region of the neck or back.

G82.2 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
ICD Code G82.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the three child codes of G82.2 that describes the diagnosis 'paraplegia' in more detail. G82.2 Paraplegia. NON-BILLABLE. BILLABLE.
Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code G82.2 is a non-billable code.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code G82.20 and a single ICD9 code, 344.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Rationale: The complete paraplegia is a sequela of the burst fracture of the T3 vertebral fracture and resulting spinal cord injury.
The ‘S’ is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The seventh character ‘S’ identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g. scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code.”.
Rationale: Scar contractures due to burn injury are reported with code L90.5 that is the first-listed or principal diagnosis and the burn injury is reported as a secondary code to identify the cause of the sequela.
The sequela code may also be expanded at the fourth, fifth, or sixth character levels to include the manifestation
