About G72

G72 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified myopathies. It belongs to block G70-G73 (diseases of myoneural junction and muscle) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G72.0 (myopathy), G72.1 (myopathy), G72.2 (agents), G72.3 (paralysis), G72.4 (classified), G72.8 (myopathies) and G72.9 (unspecified).

Don't report G72 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (Q74.3), dermatopolymyositis (M33.-), ischemic infarction of muscle (M62.2-), myositis (M60.-) and 1 more.

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