G96.19Other disorders of meninges, not elsewhere classified

G96.19 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of meninges, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to category G96 (other disorders of central 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within G96.1, choose G96.19 (Other disorders of meninges, not elsewhere classified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: dural tear (G96.11) and meningeal adhesions (cerebral) (spinal) (G96.12).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: G96.191 (cyst) and G96.198 (classified).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2021 (expanded into subcodes).

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 349.2 (disorders of meninges, not elsewhere classified).
