Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICD-10 code for cerebral cysts?
The ICD-10-CM code for cerebral cysts is G93.0. The full clinical description is "Cerebral cysts". G93.0 is a billable/specific code that can be used on insurance claims and medical billing.
What does ICD-10 code G93.0 mean?
ICD-10-CM code G93.0 represents “Cerebral cysts”. It is classified under Chapter 6: Diseases of the Nervous System and is a billable/specific code that can be used on a claim.
Is G93.0 a billable code?
Yes, G93.0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code and can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a medical claim.
What chapter is G93.0 in?
G93.0 is in Chapter 6: Diseases of the Nervous System (codes G00-G99).
What codes cannot be used with G93.0?
G93.0 has Excludes1 notes indicating codes that cannot be used together with it, including: acquired periventricular cysts of newborn (P91.1); congenital cerebral cysts (Q04.6).
What SNOMED CT codes does G93.0 map to?
G93.0 maps to 53 SNOMED CT concepts: 359624005, 38837006, 292871000119100, 33595009, 1144236007, and 48 more. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records.
What are the UMLS CUIs for G93.0?
G93.0 is linked to 3 UMLS Concept Unique Identifiers: C0078981, C0154724, C1394412. The UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) integrates multiple biomedical vocabularies maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
How does G93.0 relate to ICF functioning codes?
ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) codes describe how conditions like cerebral cysts affect a person's functioning — body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors. AutoICD provides ICF Core Sets for 12+ conditions and can map clinical text to ICF categories automatically. Browse the ICF directory to explore functioning codes.
What is the ICD-11 equivalent of G93.0?
G93.0 maps to the ICD-11 code: 8D68 (Porencephalic cyst).
