Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.Manifestation Code
Certain ICD-10-CM codes identify an underlying condition known as an etiology code. Conditions that arise as a result of an underlying condition (etiology), are referred to as Manifestations. In ICD-10-CM, etiology codes must be coded first, followed by the manifestation codes. When a condition requires etiology and manifestation codes, there is a "use additional code" note following the etiology code and a "code first" note following the manifestation code.G53 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cranial nerve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
The ICD code G53 is used to code Cranial nerve disease
Cranial nerve disease is an impaired functioning of one of the twelve cranial nerves. Although it could theoretically be considered a mononeuropathy, it is not considered as such under MeSH.

Code Type-1 Excludes:
Type-1 Excludes
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here." - Multiple cranial nerve palsy in sarcoidosis - instead, use code D86.82
- Multiple cranial nerve palsy in syphilis - instead, use code A52.15
- Postherpetic geniculate ganglionitis - instead, use code B02.21
- Postherpetic trigeminal neuralgia - instead, use code B02.22

(approximate match)
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code G53 and a single ICD9 code, 352.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
