About G90.52

G90.52 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for complex regional pain syndrome I of lower limb. It belongs to category G90 (disorders of autonomic nervous system), block G89-G99 (other disorders of the nervous system) and chapter 6 (diseases of the nervous system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G90.5 (complex regional pain syndrome I (CRPS I)), G90.52 is specifically for complex regional pain syndrome I of lower limb. Related codes cover I, unspecified (G90.50), I of upper limb (G90.51) and I of other specified site (G90.59).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G90.521 (limb), G90.522 (limb), G90.523 (bilateral) and G90.529 (limb).

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