G14 — Postpolio syndrome
G14 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for postpolio syndrome. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- sequelae of poliomyelitis (B91)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- postpolio myelitic syndrome
Other codes that can never be billed with G14
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G14. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G14 alone.
Risk adjustment
G14 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 182 Spinal Cord Disorders/Injuries0.478 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
Medicare coverage
G14 is named in 19 Medicare coverage policies — 19 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How G14 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to G14.
