About G92

G92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for toxic encephalopathy. It belongs to 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G92.0 (syndrome), G92.8 (encephalopathy) and G92.9 (encephalopathy).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2022 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 323.71 (toxic encephalitis and encephalomyelitis), 323.72 (toxic myelitis) and 349.82 (toxic encephalopathy).
