ICD-10 Code G60.0 – Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G60.0 – Hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy
What it is
G60.0 identifies hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, a group of inherited peripheral nerve disorders. It is used when documentation shows a genetic neuropathy affecting both motor and sensory nerves.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include slowly progressive distal muscle weakness, sensory loss, reduced reflexes, and foot deformities. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use G60.0 when the provider documents hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, or another inherited peripheral neuropathy in this category. Code it from confirmed diagnoses, not from family history alone. If the record is unclear about the exact inherited neuropathy, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acquired neuropathies, diabetic neuropathy, or nonspecific peripheral neuropathy without a hereditary cause. Check documentation if the etiology is not stated.
Coding tip
Assign G60.0 only when the provider links the neuropathy to inheritance or names the hereditary disorder.
