G96 — Other disorders of central nervous system
Not billable
Is G96 billable?
No — G96 is a non-billable header code. G96 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 14 billable codes beneath G96.

How long has G96 existed?
G96 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
