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.G55 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of nerve root and plexus compressions in diseases classified elsewhere. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

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." - Nerve root compression (due to) (in) ankylosing spondylitis - instead, use code M45.-
- Nerve root compression (due to) (in) dorsopathies (M53.-, M54.-) - instead, use code M53.-
- Nerve root compression (due to) (in) intervertebral disc disorders (M50.1.-, M51.1.-) - instead, use code M50.1
- Nerve root compression (due to) (in) spondylopathies (M46.-, M48.-) - instead, use code M46.-
- Nerve root compression (due to) (in) spondylosis (M47.0-M47.2.-) - instead, use code M47.0-

(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 G55 and a single ICD9 code, 353.8 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
