Other specific joint derangements

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 10 more specific codes instead:

  • M24.0 Loose body in joint (also a header)
  • M24.1 Other articular cartilage disorders (also a header)
  • M24.2 Disorder of ligament (also a header)
  • M24.3 Pathological dislocation of joint, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • M24.4 Recurrent dislocation of joint (also a header)
  • M24.5 Contracture of joint (also a header)
  • M24.6 Ankylosis of joint (also a header)
  • M24.7 Protrusio acetabuli
  • M24.8 Other specific joint derangements, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
  • M24.9 Joint derangement, unspecified

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.
