ICD-10 is the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD), a medical classification list by the World Health Organization (WHO). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases.
Polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere G63 describes the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself.
If either peripheral or autonomic neuropathy is caused by diabetes, then a code from subcategory 250.6 will be sequenced first followed by code 357.2 for polyneuropathy in diabetes or code 337.1 for peripheral autonomic neuropathy.
NEC: "Not elsewhere classified" - used when there is no specific code available to represent the condition. Example: "A41.89 - Other specified sepsis" is used when sepsis is caused by an organism not specifically listed in ICD-10-CM as a cause of sepsis.
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.
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.
Polyneuropathy means that many nerves in different parts of the body are involved. Neuropathy can affect nerves that provide feeling (sensory neuropathy) or cause movement (motor neuropathy). It can also affect both, in which case it is called a sensorimotor neuropathy.
Not elsewhere classified (NEC) is a term used in a variety of classification systems to denote an entity that has been fully characterized but whose features are contradictory and/or do not fit into established classifications.
The first is the alphabetic abbreviations “NEC” and “NOS.” NEC means “Not Elsewhere Classified” while NOS means “Not Otherwise Specified.” Simply put, NEC means the provider gave you a very detailed diagnosis, but the codes do not get that specific.
An “other” code means that there are codes for some diagnoses, but there is not one specific for the patient's condition. In this case, the physician knows what the condition is, but there is no code for it. An “unspecified” code means that the condition is unknown at the time of coding.
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.

G63 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
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 G63 and a single ICD9 code, 357.4 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
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. It usually begins in the hands and feet and may progress to the arms and legs; and sometimes to other parts of the body where it may affect the autonomic nervous system. It may be acute (appearing suddenly, progressing rapidly and resolving slowly) or chronic (emerging and developing gradually). A number of different disorders may cause polyneuropathy, including diabetes and some types of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
G63 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Polyneuropathy in diseases classified elsewhere . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
Manifestation codes not allowed as principal diagnosis - Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis. Code first underlying disease, such as: amyloidosis ( E85 .-)
