About G72.8
G72.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified myopathies. It belongs to category G72 (other and unspecified myopathies), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.
Within G72, choose G72.8 (Other specified myopathies) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: drug-induced myopathy (G72.0), alcoholic myopathy (G72.1), myopathy due to other toxic agents (G72.2), periodic paralysis (G72.3), inflammatory and immune myopathies, not elsewhere classified (G72.4) and myopathy, unspecified (G72.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G72.81 (myopathy) and G72.89 (myopathies).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
