To help you manage peripheral neuropathy:
Polyneuropathy, unspecified
Peripheral neuropathy is a common finding in patients with complex inherited neurological diseases and may be subclinical or a major component of the phenotype.
Peripheral neuropathy that is not further specified as being caused by an underlying condition is assigned to code 356.9.
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.
Overview. Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation.
Peripheral Neuropathy TypesMotor neuropathy. This is damage to the nerves that control muscles and movement in the body, such as moving your hands and arms or talking.Sensory neuropathy. ... Autonomic nerve neuropathy. ... Combination neuropathies.
G62. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
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.
Nerves In the Peripheral Nervous SystemBrachial plexus (radial nerve, median nerve, ulnar nerves)Peroneal nerve (foot drop)Femoral nerve.Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve.Sciatic nerve.Spinal accessory nerve.Tibial nerve.
Overview. Peripheral nerves send messages from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. They help do things such as sense that the feet are cold and move the body's muscles for walking. Peripheral nerves are made of fibers called axons that are insulated by surrounding tissues.
Encephalopathy (disease of the brain) Neuropathy (disease of the nerves)
Listen to pronunciation. (peh-RIH-feh-rul noor-AH-puh-thee) A nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. It usually begins in the hands or feet and gets worse over time.
The peripheral nervous system comprises the network of nerves connected to the brain and the spinal cord. The nerves fibres are of two types – afferent fibres and efferent fibres.
The nerve damage behind neuropathy can have many causes. Poorly controlled diabetes accounts for about 60 percent of cases. Chemotherapy, HIV, shingles, kidney disease, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, alcoholism, nutrient deficiencies, hereditary disorders, and physical trauma are other causes.
The signs of nerve damage include the following:Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.Feeling like you're wearing a tight glove or sock.Muscle weakness, especially in your arms or legs.Regularly dropping objects that you're holding.Sharp pains in your hands, arms, legs, or feet.More items...

Diseases of the peripheral nerves external to the brain and spinal cord, which includes diseases of the nerve roots, ganglia, plexi, autonomic nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves.

Other disorders of peripheral nervous system G64- 1 A nerve problem that causes pain, numbness, tingling, swelling, or muscle weakness in different parts of the body. It usually begins in the hands or feet and gets worse over time. Neuropathy may be caused by physical injury, infection, toxic substances, disease (such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or malnutrition), or drugs, including anticancer drugs. 2 A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. 3 Diseases of the peripheral nerves external to the brain and spinal cord, which includes diseases of the nerve roots, ganglia, plexi, autonomic nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves. 4 Your peripheral nerves are the ones outside your brain and spinal cord. Like static on a telephone line, peripheral nerve disorders distort or interrupt the messages between the brain and the rest of the body. There are more than 100 kinds of peripheral nerve disorders. They can affect one nerve or many nerves. Some are the result of other diseases, like diabetic nerve problems. Others, like guillain-barre syndrome, happen after a virus infection. Still others are from nerve compression, like carpal tunnel syndrome or thoracic outlet syndrome. In some cases, like complex regional pain syndrome and brachial plexus injuries, the problem begins after an injury. Some people are born with peripheral nerve disorders.symptoms often start gradually, and then get worse. They include#N#numbness#N#pain#N#burning or tingling#N#muscle weakness#N#sensitivity to touch#N#treatment aims to treat any underlying problem, reduce pain and control symptoms.

Neuropathy may be caused by physical injury, infection, toxic substances, disease (such as cancer, diabetes, kidney failure, or malnutrition), or drugs, including anticancer drugs. A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system.
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.
Polyneuropathy – Two or more nerves in different areas get affected. Autonomic neuropathy – Affects the nerves which control blood pressure, sweating, digestion, heart rate, bowel and bladder emptying.
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.
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).
If yes, neuropathy and diabetes needs to be combined and coded regardless of it is polyneuropathy, autonomic neuropathy, mononeuropathy or unspecified neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy with diabetes should be coded as E11.42 (DM with polyneuropath), not e11.40 (DM with neuropathy).
