Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code

G54 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
The 2023 edition of ICD-10-CM G54 became effective on October 1, 2022.
This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G54 - other international versions of ICD-10 G54 may differ.

A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
