What to know about femoral neuropathy
Femoral neuropathy is a medical condition characterized by a problem with the femoral nerve which causes sensation changes and/or lack of motor control in one of the legs. There are a number of approaches to the treatment and management of femoral neuropathy, with the best treatment depending on the cause of the condition.
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.
Other idiopathic peripheral autonomic neuropathy G90. 09 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM G90. 09 became effective on October 1, 2019. Also, what is the difference between polyneuropathy and peripheral neuropathy?
Neuropathy - femoral nerve; Femoral neuropathy. Femoral nerve dysfunction is a loss of movement or sensation in parts of the legs due to damage to the femoral nerve.
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.

Polyneuropathy is when multiple peripheral nerves become damaged, which is also commonly called peripheral neuropathy.
The femoral nerve (L2 to L4) emerges at the lower border between the psoas and iliacus muscles, and passes beneath the inguinal ligament. The femoral nerve provides motor branches to knee extensors (quadriceps muscles) and sensation to the anterior thigh, femur, knee joint, and medial leg.

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'.

Symptoms of small fiber neuropathy can range from mild to severe. People often experience mild symptoms that may go unnoticed in the early stages. Over time, symptoms typically worsen and progress to other areas of the body.
There are many causes of neuropathy. Diabetes is the number one cause in the United States. Other common causes include trauma, chemotherapy, alcoholism and autoimmune diseases.
Physical therapy can be used to help maintain muscle strength in the affected area of the body. If necessary, you may have to wear an orthopedic appliance, such as braces, splints, or special shoes. If the neuropathy is compression-related, such as with carpal tunnel, surgery may be necessary to address the issue.
Neuropathy (nerve damage), genitofemoral. Clinical Information. Disease involving the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve may be injured by ischemia (e.g., in association with diabetic neuropathies), nerve compression, trauma, collagen diseases, and other disease processes.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. Type 1 Excludes.

Disease involving the femoral nerve. The femoral nerve may be injured by ischemia (e.g., in association with diabetic neuropathies), nerve compression, trauma, collagen diseases, and other disease processes. Clinical features include muscle weakness or paralysis of hip flexion and knee extension, atrophy of the quadriceps muscle, reduced or absent patellar reflex, and impaired sensation over the anterior and medial thigh.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G57.2 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Most of the neuropathy ICD 10 codes are located in Chapter-6 of ICD-10-CM manual which is “diseases of the nervous system”, code range G00-G 99
Neuropathic pain should be coded as neuralgia M79.2, not neuropathy.
Peripheral neuropathy with diabetes should be coded as E11.42 (DM with polyneuropath), not e11.40 (DM with neuropathy).
Autonomic neuropathy symptoms can be heart intolerance, excess sweat or no sweat, blood pressure changes, bladder, bowel or digestive problems. Physician does a thorough physical examination including extremity neurological exam and noting vitals.
Detailed history of the patient like symptoms, lifestyle and exposure to toxins may also help to diagnose neuropathy. Blood tests, CT, MRI, electromyography, nerve biopsy and skin biopsy are the tests used to confirm neuropathy.
Symptoms can vary in both peripheral and autonomic neuropathy because the nerves affected are different. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms can be tingling, sharp throbbing pain, lack of coordination, paralysis if motor nerves are affected. Autonomic neuropathy symptoms can be heart intolerance, excess sweat or no sweat, blood pressure changes, bladder, bowel or digestive problems.
There is hereditary neuropathy also which get transferred from parent to child. Neuropathy can occur in any nerve of the body, but peripheral neuropathy is the common type seen in most of the people. As the name says peripheral neuropathy affects peripheral nerves usually extremities (hands and feet).
