G57Mononeuropathies of lower limb

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

G57 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for mononeuropathies of lower limb. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • current traumatic nerve disorder - see nerve injury by body region

Other codes that can never be billed with G57

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G57. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G57 alone.

  • M54.3Sciatica
  • M77.4Metatarsalgia
  • M89.0Algoneurodystrophy
  • G56.4Causalgia of upper limb
  • G89.2Chronic pain, not elsewhere classified
  • G90.5Complex regional pain syndrome I (CRPS I)

Risk adjustment

G57 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 G57

10 child codes. Green means billable.
