ICD-10 Code for Neuropathy
The ICD-10-CM code for neuropathy is G62.9 — Polyneuropathy, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for neuropathy with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
BillableUnspecified
G62.9 is billable but unspecified. If the documentation names a type, site or cause, one of the more specific codes below is likely expected.
Which neuropathy code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 53 codes under Neuropathy, neuropathic. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
