Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

G57.0 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for lesion of sciatic nerve. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

sciatica attributed to intervertebral disc disorder (M51.1.-)

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above G57.0

A category’s note binds every code beneath it.

Written on G57: Mononeuropathies of lower limb

current traumatic nerve disorder - see nerve injury by body region
