Use a child code to capture more detail.ICD Code G37 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the eight child codes of G37 that describes the diagnosis 'other demyelinating diseases of central nervous system' in more detail.

The ICD code G37 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.
