ICD Code G36 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of G36 that describes the diagnosis 'other acute disseminated demyelination' in more detail.


The ICD code G36 is used to code Demyelinating disease

A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged. This damage impairs the conduction of signals in the affected nerves. In turn, the reduction in conduction ability causes deficiency in sensation, movement, cognition, or other functions depending on which nerves are involved.
