ICD-10 Code G54.7 – Phantom limb syndrome without pain (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code G54.7 – Phantom limb syndrome without pain
What it is
G54.7 identifies phantom limb syndrome without pain, meaning the patient feels sensations from an amputated limb but does not report pain. It reflects a post-amputation neurologic phenomenon, not a problem in the removed limb itself.
Clinical signs
Patients may describe awareness of the missing limb, movement sensations, or the limb feeling present. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation, and confirm that pain is absent if you are assigning this code.
When to use this code
Use G54.7 when the record clearly documents phantom limb sensations after amputation and specifically states there is no pain. It may appear in follow-up notes, rehabilitation records, or neurology documentation. If pain is present, this code is not appropriate.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for phantom limb pain, stump pain, or nonspecific post-amputation pain. Check documentation if the chart does not clearly separate painless phantom sensations from painful symptoms.
Coding tip
Code only when the provider documents phantom limb syndrome without pain; if pain is mentioned, verify whether a different code is needed.
