G70.81 ICD-10-CM Code: Lambert-Eaton syndrome in disease classified elsewhere
Billing Status: YES. This is a valid, specific, and billable ICD-10-CM reference.
Inpatient Payment Groups (MS-DRG)
MS-DRGs this diagnosis helps define, as principal or secondary, per the CMS ICD-10-CM/PCS MS-DRG Definitions Manual v43.0 (FY2026), Appendix B.
- MS-DRG 056 — DEGENERATIVE NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS WITH MCC (MDC 01)
- MS-DRG 057 — DEGENERATIVE NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDERS WITHOUT MCC (MDC 01)
A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.
Risk Adjustment (CMS-HCC)
Payment categories this diagnosis maps to under CMS-HCC V28, payment year 2026.
- HCC 196 — Myasthenia Gravis without (Acute) Exacerbation and Other Myoneural Disorders
Other models: CMS-HCC V22 HCC 75 · RxHCC V08 HCC 153
Risk scores depend on the enrollee's full accepted diagnosis set and segment; a category mapping alone does not determine payment.
Code Set: Valid FY2026 and FY2027. FY2026 took effect October 1, 2025.
