What causes neuropathic pain?
What is the diagnosis code for neuropathy? The ICD code G62 is used to code Polyneuropathy. Polyneuropathy or symmetrical polyneuropathy (poly- + neuro- + -pathy) is damage or disease affecting peripheral nerves (peripheral neuropathy) in roughly the same areas on both sides of the body, featuring weakness, numbness, pins-and-needles, and burning pain.
The ICD-10-CM code Z12.4 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like cancer cervix screening and fee claim or sampling of cervix for papanicolaou smear done. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
ICD-10 code: M54. 12 Radiculopathy Cervical region.
Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy, unspecified 9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G60. 9 - other international versions of ICD-10 G60.
Peripheral neuropathy that is not further specified as being caused by an underlying condition is assigned to code 356.9.
12 - Radiculopathy, cervical region.
Polyneuropathy is when multiple peripheral nerves become damaged, which is also commonly called peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral nerves are the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. They relay information between the central nervous system (CNS), and all other parts 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.

Code M54. 2 is the diagnosis code used for Cervicalgia (Neck Pain). It is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point in their lives.
Cervical radiculopathy is often caused by "wear and tear" changes that occur in the spine as we age, such as arthritis. In younger people, it is most often caused by a sudden injury that results in a herniated disk. In some cases, however, there is no traumatic episode associated with the onset of symptoms.
Cervical radiculopathy: Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated at the point where it leaves the spinal cord. This can result in pain in shoulders, and muscle weakness and numbness that travels down the arm into the hand.
ICD-10 code G62. 9 for Polyneuropathy, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
R20. 2 - Paresthesia of skin. ICD-10-CM.
Peripheral neuropathy can result from traumatic injuries, infections, metabolic problems, inherited causes and exposure to toxins. One of the most common causes is diabetes. People with peripheral neuropathy generally describe the pain as stabbing, burning or tingling.
