ICD-10-CM Code G40.2
Localization-related (focal) (partial) symptomatic epilepsy and epileptic syndromes with complex partial seizures
Non-Billable Code
Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail.ICD Code G40.2 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the two child codes of G40.2 that describes the diagnosis 'local-rel (focal) symptc epilepsy w complex partial seizures' in more detail.

The ICD code G402 is used to code Partial seizure
Focal seizures (also called partial seizures and localized seizures) are seizures which affect initially only one hemisphere of the brain. The brain is divided into two hemispheres, each consisting of four lobes – the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes. In partial seizures the seizure is generated in and affects just one part of the brain – the whole hemisphere or part of a lobe. Symptoms will vary according to where the seizure occurs. In the frontal lobe symptoms may include a wave-like sensation in the head; in the temporal lobe, a feeling of déjà vu; in the parietal lobe, a numbness or tingling; and in the occipital lobe, visual disturbance or hallucination.

Inclusion Terms
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive. - Attacks with alteration of consciousness, often with automatisms
- Complex partial seizures developing into secondarily generalized seizures
Related Concepts SNOMET-CT
- Complex partial seizure evolving to generalized seizure (disorder)
- Epilepsy characterized by intractable complex partial seizures (disorder)
