About G80

G80 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cerebral palsy. It belongs to block G80-G83 (cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes) 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: G80.0 (palsy), G80.1 (palsy), G80.2 (palsy), G80.3 (palsy), G80.4 (palsy), G80.8 (palsy) and G80.9 (unspecified).

Don't report G80 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: hereditary spastic paraplegia (G11.4).

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