Accepted Answer

G94 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of brain in diseases classified elsewhere. Brain disorders that occur as a result of another disease classified elsewhere, such as brain involvement in systemic infections or metabolic disorders. G94 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the nervous system (g00-g99), within the section covering other disorders of the nervous system (g89-g99).

G94 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.
