About G83

G83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other paralytic syndromes. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G83.0 (limbs), G83.1 (limb), G83.2 (limb), G83.3 (unspecified), G83.4 (syndrome), G83.5 (state), G83.8 (syndromes) and G83.9 (unspecified).

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