G72: Other and unspecified myopathies

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

G72 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other and unspecified myopathies. 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.

  • arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (Q74.3)
  • dermatopolymyositis (M33.-)
  • ischemic infarction of muscle (M62.2-)
  • myositis (M60.-)
  • polymyositis (M33.2.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with G72

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.

  • E87Other disorders of fluid, electrolyte and acid-base balance
  • M62Other disorders of muscle
