Other disorders 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 8 more specific codes instead:

M62.0 Separation of muscle (nontraumatic) (also a header)
M62.1 Other rupture of muscle (nontraumatic) (also a header)
M62.2 Nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle (also a header)
M62.3 Immobility syndrome (paraplegic)
M62.4 Contracture of muscle (also a header)
M62.5 Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified (also a header)
M62.8 Other specified disorders of muscle (also a header)
M62.9 Disorder of muscle, 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.
