About G95.8

G95.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other specified diseases of spinal cord. It belongs to category G95 (other and unspecified diseases of spinal cord), 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G95, choose G95.8 (Other specified diseases of spinal cord) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Syringomyelia and syringobulbia (G95.0), vascular myelopathies (G95.1), other and unspecified cord compression (G95.2) and disease of spinal cord, unspecified (G95.9).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G95.81 (syndrome) and G95.89 (cord).

Don't report G95.8 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: neurogenic bladder NOS (N31.9), neurogenic bladder due to cauda equina syndrome (G83.4) and neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder without spinal cord lesion (N31.-).

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