Peripheral neuropathy is often one of those conditions that you may have heard about, without really knowing fully what it is. It is useful to know a little something about it, however, as this can help you to work out whether you might have it yourself, and understand a little more about what can be done about it should you have it.
The most common polyneuropathy symptoms [9] are:
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 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G90. 09 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Polyneuropathy, unspecified9: Polyneuropathy, unspecified.
Neuropathies frequently start in your hands and feet, but other parts of your body can be affected too. Neuropathy, often called peripheral neuropathy, indicates a problem within the peripheral nervous system. Your peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves outside your brain and spinal cord.
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.
In ICD-10, coding diabetic neuropathy requires only one code, rather than separate diabetes and neuropathy codes: E11. 40 – Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic neuropathy, unspecified. E11.

One of the most common causes of peripheral neuropathy in the U.S. is diabetes. The most common type of peripheral neuropathy is diabetic neuropathy, caused by a high sugar level and resulting in nerve fiber damage in your legs and feet.
Peripheral neuropathy (also called diabetic nerve pain and distal polyneuropathy) Proximal neuropathy (also called diabetic amyotrophy) Autonomic neuropathy. Focal neuropathy (also called mononeuropathy)
Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage caused by a number of different conditions. Health conditions that can cause peripheral neuropathy include: Autoimmune diseases. These include Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy and vasculitis.
ICD-10 code: G60. 9 Hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy, unspecified.
Autonomic neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the nerves that control automatic body functions. It can affect blood pressure, temperature control, digestion, bladder function and even sexual function.
Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy refers to damage of the peripheral nerves where cause can not be determined. When the peripheral nerves are damaged, there are often symptoms that affect the feet.
There are several key factors that affect a patient's prognosis in familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP), but most people with the rare, inherited, progressive disease have a life expectancy of about 10 years after being diagnosed.
The main medicines recommended for neuropathic pain include: amitriptyline – also used for treatment of headaches and depression. duloxetine – also used for treatment of bladder problems and depression. pregabalin and gabapentin – also used to treat epilepsy, headaches or anxiety.
The symptoms of peripheral neuropathy may lessen or go away over time, but in some cases they never go away. These are some ways to learn to live with it: Use pain medicines as your doctor prescribes them. Most pain medicines work best if they are taken before the pain gets bad.
If the underlying cause of peripheral neuropathy is not treated, you may be at risk of developing potentially serious complications, such as a foot ulcer that becomes infected. This can lead to gangrene if untreated, and in severe cases may mean the foot has to be amputated.
356.0 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of hereditary peripheral neuropathy. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 356.0 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
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.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
