Clinical Information. 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.
Diseases of multiple peripheral nerves simultaneously. Polyneuropathies usually are characterized by symmetrical, bilateral distal motor and sensory impairment with a graded increase in severity distally. The pathological processes affecting peripheral nerves include degeneration of the axon, myelin or both. The various forms of polyneuropathy are categorized by the type of nerve affected (e.g., sensory, motor, or autonomic), by the distribution of nerve injury (e.g., distal vs. Proximal), by nerve component primarily affected (e.g., demyelinating vs. Axonal), by etiology, or by pattern of inheritance.

After performing a comprehensive history and physical examination at the initial consultation visit, the neurologist was suspicious for a lumbosacral radiculoplexus neuropathy superimposed on a chronic length-dependent sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy, both occurring in the setting of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (codes 250.62, 357.2, and 353.5 in ICD-9-CM or codes E11.42 and E11.44 in ICD-10-CM ). However, she felt a variety of other metabolic, malignant, and inflammatory disorders warranted consideration and arranged for testing that included extensive blood work, a CSF examination, imaging of the lumbosacral spine and plexus, and an electrodiagnostic evaluation.
If the patient is physician-referred and not a Medicare recipient, the appropriate CPT code would be the level 5 consultation code, 99245. If the patient is self-referred or a Medicare beneficiary, a new patient code (99205) would be used. Medicare discontinued payment for consult codes in 2010.
The CPT codes for routine needle electrode examination are chosen based on the anatomic segment studied, the number of muscles examined, and whether or not the EMG is performed the same day as nerve conduction studies. For example, in the case above, the patient had more than five muscles served by different roots and nerves examined in the right lower limb, and since nerve conduction studies were performed in the same encounter, the appropriate code is 95886. If no nerve conduction studies had been performed, the appropriate code would have been 95860. She had fewer than five muscles examined each in the right upper limb and left lower limb, so the appropriate code when submitted with nerve conduction study codes is two units of 95887 (95870 would be used without nerve conduction studies).
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.
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.
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.
