About G82
G82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for paraplegia (paraparesis) and quadriplegia (quadriparesis). 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G82.2 (paraplegia) and G82.5 (quadriplegia).
Don't report G82 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: congenital cerebral palsy (G80.-), functional quadriplegia (R53.2) and hysterical paralysis (F44.4).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
