What code are you all using for numbness R20.0 or R20.8.

"Numbness" in an entry in the Alphabetic Index of ICD-10 in 2016 - it will direct you to the correct code to use.

Hi,

Numbness is definitely there in the index, but it is leading to anesthesia of skin(R20.0). So I was just thinking whether we should use "other disturbance of skin sensation (r20.8)." It is just my opinion.
