G80.8Other cerebral palsy

G80.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other cerebral palsy. It belongs to category G80 (cerebral palsy), block G80-G83 (cerebral palsy and other paralytic syndromes) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within G80, choose G80.8 (Other cerebral palsy) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (G80.0), spastic diplegic cerebral palsy (G80.1), spastic hemiplegic cerebral palsy (G80.2), Athetoid cerebral palsy (G80.3), Ataxic cerebral palsy (G80.4) and unspecified (G80.9).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 343.3 (congenital monoplegia) and 343.8 (other specified infantile cerebral palsy).
