Frequently Asked Questions
What ICD-11 codes are in Chapter 8?
Chapter 8: Diseases of the Nervous System covers ICD-11 codes 8A00-8E7Z. It contains 28 code blocks with 201 top-level categories.
What conditions does ICD-11 Chapter 8 cover?
Includes epilepsy, migraine, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuropathies, and cerebrovascular diseases. ICD-11 moves sleep disorders to their own chapter and improves classification of pain conditions and neurodegenerative diseases. This chapter includes codes from 8A00-8E7Z.
How is ICD-11 Chapter 8 different from ICD-10?
ICD-11 reorganized many chapters compared to ICD-10. Chapter 8 (Diseases of the Nervous System) may include conditions that were in different ICD-10 chapters, and some conditions previously here may have moved. ICD-11 also adds new chapters for sleep-wake disorders, sexual health, and traditional medicine that did not exist in ICD-10.
How many code blocks are in ICD-11 Chapter 8?
Chapter 8 has 28 code blocks: 8A00-8A0Z (Movement disorders), 8A20-8A2Z (Disorders with neurocognitive impairment as a major feature), 8A40-8A4Z (Multiple sclerosis or other white matter disorders), 8A60-8A6Z (Epilepsy or seizures), and 24 more.
