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 9 more specific codes instead:

  • M27.0 Developmental disorders of jaws
  • M27.1 Giant cell granuloma, central
  • M27.2 Inflammatory conditions of jaws
  • M27.3 Alveolitis of jaws
  • M27.4 Other and unspecified cysts of jaw (also a header)
  • M27.5 Periradicular pathology associated with previous endodontic treatment (also a header)
  • M27.6 Endosseous dental implant failure (also a header)
  • M27.8 Other specified diseases of jaws
  • M27.9 Disease of jaws, 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.
