M93

Other osteochondropathies

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 5 more specific codes instead:

  • M93.0 Slipped upper femoral epiphysis (nontraumatic) (also a header)
  • M93.1 Kienbock's disease of adults
  • M93.2 Osteochondritis dissecans (also a header)
  • M93.8 Other specified osteochondropathies (also a header)
  • M93.9 Osteochondropathy, unspecified (also a header)

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.
