G90.3Multi-system degeneration of the autonomic nervous system

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CM

G90.3 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for multi-system degeneration of the autonomic nervous system. 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.

  • orthostatic hypotension NOS (I95.1)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.

  • Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension [Shy-Drager]

Other codes that can never be billed with G90.3

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at G90.3. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading G90.3 alone.

  • R03.1Nonspecific low blood-pressure reading
  • R55Syncope and collapse
  • G21Secondary parkinsonism
  • I95.1Orthostatic hypotension

Risk adjustment

G90.3 risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:

  • HCC 199 Parkinson and Other Degenerative Disease of Basal Ganglia0.615 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

G90.3 is named in 11 Medicare coverage policies 11 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How G90.3 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 G90.3.

  • Shy-Drager syndrome
  • Degeneration, degenerativemulti-system
  • Hypotensionneurogenic, orthostatic
  • Parkinsonismwith neurogenic orthostatic hypotension(symptomatic)
  • Hypotensionorthostaticneurogenic
