About G95.89

G95.89 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 billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within G95.8, choose G95.89 (Other specified diseases of spinal cord) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Conus medullaris syndrome (G95.81).

Don't report G95.89 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: myelopathy NOS (G95.9).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 091 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with MCC, relative weight 1.7046), DRG 092 (Other Disorders of Nervous System with CC, relative weight 1.0239) and DRG 093 (Other Disorders of Nervous System without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.7783), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

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

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 336.8 (other myelopathy).
