Juvenile arthritis

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:

  • M08.0 Unspecified juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (also a header)
  • M08.1 Juvenile ankylosing spondylitis
  • M08.2 Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis with systemic onset (also a header)
  • M08.3 Juvenile rheumatoid polyarthritis (seronegative)
  • M08.4 Pauciarticular juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (also a header)
  • M08.8 Other juvenile arthritis (also a header)
  • M08.9 Juvenile arthritis, unspecified (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
