Biomechanical lesions, not elsewhere classified

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:

M99.0 Segmental and somatic dysfunction (also a header)
M99.1 Subluxation complex (vertebral) (also a header)
M99.2 Subluxation stenosis of neural canal (also a header)
M99.3 Osseous stenosis of neural canal (also a header)
M99.4 Connective tissue stenosis of neural canal (also a header)
M99.5 Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal (also a header)
M99.6 Osseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina (also a header)
M99.7 Connective tissue and disc stenosis of intervertebral foramina (also a header)
M99.8 Other biomechanical lesions (also a header)
M99.9 Biomechanical lesion, 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.

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
