Code first

The underlying condition must be sequenced before this code.

  • underlying disease, such as:
  • hypothyroidism (E03.-)
  • myxedematous congenital iodine deficiency (E00.1)

Other codes that can never be billed with G13.2

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G13.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G13.2 alone.

  • G32.81Cerebellar ataxia in diseases classified elsewhere

Risk adjustment

G13.2 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.

Medicare coverage

G13.2 is named in 4 Medicare coverage policies 4 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
