ICD-10 · PDGM grouping
G40 Epilepsy and recurrent seizures
All 58 codes in the G40 family, with the PDGM clinical group, comorbidity subgroup and primary-position rule CMS assigns, read from the CMS grouper crosswalk v07.2.26 and the CDC FY2027 code file.

What CMS assigns to G40
All 58 codes group to MMTA - Other (57) and Neuro Rehabilitation (1). 45 of the 58 count toward the Epilepsy comorbidity subgroup; 13 are assigned none. Every code can lead a claim.
- Epilepsy: counts toward the high comorbidity tier only in an interaction pair.

Descriptions are CDC’s FY2027 wording; where CMS’s grouper abbreviates one, its form is shown beneath.
