Treating the Cause of Diabetic Nerve Pain In Hands, Not the Symptoms
Specific conditions and their treatments include:
Idiopathic progressive neuropathy
Unspecified injury of right wrist, hand and finger (s), initial encounter
Upper extremity neuropathy is a very common condition that manifests in weakness, soreness, and changes in the hands' sensitivity, depending on the location of the nerve damage. One or more nerves can be affected. It can develop at any age but is most common in people who spend a lot of time at the computer.

ICD-10 code: M79. 2 Neuralgia and neuritis, unspecified.
A disorder affecting the cranial nerves or the peripheral nervous system. It is manifested with pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. It may be the result of physical injury, toxic substances, viral diseases, diabetes, renal failure, cancer, and drugs.
Peripheral neuropathy that is not further specified as being caused by an underlying condition is assigned to code 356.9.
Some forms of neuropathy involve damage to only one nerve (called mononeuropathy). Neuropathy affecting two or more nerves in different areas is called multiple mononeuropathy or mononeuropathy multiplex. More often, many or most of the nerves are affected (called polyneuropathy).
Neuropathic pain is now defined by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) as 'pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system'.
ICD-10 code G89. 29 for Other chronic pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Neuropathy is when nerve damage interferes with the functioning of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). When the cause can't be determined, it's called idiopathic neuropathy. The PNS carries information from the central nervous system (CNS), or brain and spinal cord, to the rest of the body.
If you look in the alphabetical index under diabetes/diabetic with neuropathy it is E11. 40 (type 2 DM with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified). You cannot go with E11. 42 because that is specifically with polyneuropathy which is not documented.
9: Dorsalgia, unspecified.
Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is damage to or disease affecting nerves, which may impair sensation, movement, gland or organ function, or other aspects of health, depending on the type of nerve affected.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

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 G90.09 and a single ICD9 code, 337.09 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
