ICD-10 Code for Paresthesia of skin- R20. 2- Codify by AAPC.
R20. 2 - Paresthesia of skin. ICD-10-CM.
Definition. Paresthesia refers to a burning or prickling sensation that is usually felt in the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but can also occur in other parts of the body. The sensation, which happens without warning, is usually painless and described as tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching.
Other disorders of peripheral nervous system G64 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G64 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Leg paresthesia is a sensation of tingling (feeling of “pins and needles”) or burning in the leg that occurs without stimulation. It can result from a previous leg injury or pressure on a nerve in the leg. Other causes include damage to nerves in the leg from exposure to extreme heat or cold or to toxic compounds.
R20. Anesthesia of skin is the complete absence of any sensation in the skin; hypoesthesia is decreased sensation in skin; parasthesia refers to abnormal sensation such as tingling; hyperesthesia is an increased sensitivity or exaggerated sensitivity in sensation.
Types. Abnormal sensations such as prickling, tingling, itching, burning or cold, skin crawling or impaired sensations–are all called parasthesia. These symptoms usually arise from nerve damage (neuropathy). Continued nerve damage can lead to numbness (lost of sensation) or paralysis (loss of movement and sensation).
What to know about paresthesia. Paresthesia is numbness or a burning feeling that occurs most often in the extremities, such as the hands, arms, legs, or feet, but that can happen elsewhere in the body as well. It is the same “pins and needles” feeling that happens when someone sits on their leg or foot for too long.
Paresthesia is caused by pressure placed on a nerve. Dysesthesia is caused by nerve damage. Both paresthesia and dysesthesia describe abnormal nerve sensations.
Arm paresthesia is a sensation of tingling (feeling of “pins and needles”) or burning in the arm that occurs without stimulation. It can result from a previous arm injury or pressure on a nerve in the arm. Other causes include damage to nerves in the arm from exposure to extreme heat or cold or to toxic compounds.
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.
