About G83.2

G83.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for monoplegia of upper limb. It belongs to category G83 (other paralytic syndromes), 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G83 (other paralytic syndromes), G83.2 is specifically for monoplegia of upper limb. Related codes cover diplegia of upper limbs (G83.0), monoplegia of lower limb (G83.1), monoplegia, unspecified (G83.3), cauda equina syndrome (G83.4), Locked-in state (G83.5), other specified paralytic syndromes (G83.8) and paralytic syndrome, unspecified (G83.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G83.20 (affecting unspecified side), G83.21 (affecting right dominant side), G83.22 (affecting left dominant side), G83.23 (affecting right nondominant side) and G83.24 (affecting left nondominant side).

Don't report G83.2 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: monoplegia of upper limbs due to sequela of cerebrovascular disease (I69.03-, I69.13-, I69.23-, I69.33-, I69.83-, I69.93-).

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