Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle

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:

  • M61.20 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, unspecified site
  • M61.21 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, shoulder (also a header)
  • M61.22 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, upper arm (also a header)
  • M61.23 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, forearm (also a header)
  • M61.24 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, hand (also a header)
  • M61.25 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, thigh (also a header)
  • M61.26 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, lower leg (also a header)
  • M61.27 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, ankle and foot (also a header)
  • M61.28 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, other site
  • M61.29 Paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, multiple sites
