G11Hereditary ataxia

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

G11 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for hereditary ataxia. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • cerebral palsy (G80.-)
  • hereditary and idiopathic neuropathy (G60.-)
  • metabolic disorders (E70-E88)

Other codes that can never be billed with G11

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G11. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G11 alone.

  • Q85Phakomatoses, not elsewhere classified
  • R26Abnormalities of gait and mobility
  • R27Other lack of coordination
  • D82Immunodeficiency associated with other major defects
  • E31Polyglandular dysfunction
  • G80Cerebral palsy

Risk adjustment

G11 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead G11

9 child codes. Green means billable.
