ICD-10-CM Code G71.3
Mitochondrial myopathy, not elsewhere classified

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

G71.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of mitochondrial myopathy, not elsewhere classified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code G713 is used to code Mitochondrial myopathy

Mitochondrial myopathies are types of myopathies associated with mitochondrial disease. On biopsy, the muscle tissue of patients with these diseases usually demonstrate "ragged red" muscle fibers. These ragged-red fibers contain mild accumulations of glycogen and neutral lipids, and may show an increased reactivity for succinate dehydrogenase and a decreased reactivity for cytochrome c oxidase. Inheritance is maternal (non-Mendelian extranuclear). There are several subcategories of mitochondrial myopathies.

Other myopathies (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 G71.3 and a single ICD9 code, 359.89 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
