M35

Other systemic involvement of connective tissue

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:

  • M35.0 Sjogren syndrome (also a header)
  • M35.1 Other overlap syndromes
  • M35.2 Behcet's disease
  • M35.3 Polymyalgia rheumatica
  • M35.4 Diffuse (eosinophilic) fasciitis
  • M35.5 Multifocal fibrosclerosis
  • M35.6 Relapsing panniculitis [Weber-Christian]
  • M35.7 Hypermobility syndrome
  • M35.8 Other specified systemic involvement of connective tissue (also a header)
  • M35.9 Systemic involvement of connective tissue, 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.
