G24 — Dystonia
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
G24 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for dystonia. 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.
- athetoid cerebral palsy (G80.3)
Includes
Conditions this code covers.
- dyskinesia
Other codes that can never be billed with G24
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G24. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G24 alone.
Risk adjustment
G24 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 G24
8 child codes. Green means billable.
