What This Code Means
G57.13 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for meralgia paresthetica, bilateral lower limbs. A condition causing burning pain and tingling in the outer thighs on both sides due to nerve compression. G57.13 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the nervous system (g00-g99), within the section covering nerve, nerve root and plexus disorders (g50-g59).
G57.13 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
Ensure bilateral involvement is clearly documented before assigning this code.
