About G35.B

G35.B is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for primary progressive multiple sclerosis. It belongs to category G35 (multiple sclerosis), block G35-G37 (demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G35 (multiple sclerosis), G35.B is specifically for primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Related codes cover Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (G35.A), secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (G35.C) and unspecified (G35.D).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G35.B0 (unspecified), G35.B1 (sclerosis) and G35.B2 (sclerosis).
