M95

Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and 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 8 more specific codes instead:

  • M95.0 Acquired deformity of nose
  • M95.1 Cauliflower ear (also a header)
  • M95.2 Other acquired deformity of head
  • M95.3 Acquired deformity of neck
  • M95.4 Acquired deformity of chest and rib
  • M95.5 Acquired deformity of pelvis
  • M95.8 Other specified acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system
  • M95.9 Acquired deformity of musculoskeletal system, 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.
