G83 — Other paralytic syndromes
Not billable
Is G83 billable?
No — G83 is a non-billable header code. G83 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 24 billable codes beneath G83.

Includes
Conditions classified to G83.
- paralysis (complete) (incomplete), except as in G80-G82
Note
- This category is to be used only when the listed conditions are reported without further specification, or are stated to be old or longstanding but of unspecified cause. The category is also for use in multiple coding to identify these conditions resulting from any cause.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 6
The conditions below are not part of G83, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, G83 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
