About G61

G61 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for inflammatory polyneuropathy. It belongs to block G60-G65 (polyneuropathies and other disorders of the peripheral 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G61.0 (syndrome), G61.1 (neuropathy), G61.8 (polyneuropathies) and G61.9 (unspecified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
