About this chapter
ICD-10-CM Chapter VI — “Diseases of the nervous system” — spans every category from G00 through G99. Each category in that range expands into a header code and one or more billable codes with additional specificity (laterality, episode of care, or clinical detail). Open any code’s own page to see its exact position in the hierarchy, its parent and children, and whether it’s billable.
This is chapter 6of the 22 chapters in the ICD-10-CM code set. Chapters are arranged by body system or type of condition, and a code’s first letter and two digits (its 3-character category) decide which chapter it falls in: anything from G00 to G99 is filed here.
