| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

G54.2 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of cervical root disorders, not elsewhere classified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code G54 is used to code Radiculopathy

Radiculopathy refers to a set of conditions in which one or more nerves are affected and do not work properly (a neuropathy). The location of the injury is at the level of the nerve root (radix = "root"). This can result in pain (radicular pain), weakness, numbness, or difficulty controlling specific muscles.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Cervical root lesions, not elsewhere classified (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 G54.2 and a single ICD9 code, 353.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
