G71.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of muscular dystrophy. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code G710 is used to code Distal muscular dystrophy

Distal muscular dystrophy (or distal myopathy) is a group of disorders characterized by onset in the hands or feet. Many types involve dysferlin, but it has been suggested that not all cases do.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Hereditary progressive muscular dystrophy (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 359.1 was previously used, G71.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
