G54.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of brachial plexus disorders. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code G540 is used to code Brachial plexus injury

The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that conducts signals from the spinal cord, which is housed in the spinal canal of the vertebral column (or spine), to the shoulder, arm and hand. These nerves originate in the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth cervical (C5–C8), and first thoracic (T1) spinal nerves, and innervate the muscles and skin of the chest, shoulder, arm and hand. Brachial plexus injuries, or lesions, are caused by damage to those nerves.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

353.0
Brachial plexus lesions (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 G54.0 and a single ICD9 code, 353.0 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
