M99.1

Subluxation complex (vertebral)

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:

  • M99.10 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of head region
  • M99.11 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of cervical region
  • M99.12 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of thoracic region
  • M99.13 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of lumbar region
  • M99.14 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of sacral region
  • M99.15 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of pelvic region
  • M99.16 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of lower extremity
  • M99.17 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of upper extremity
  • M99.18 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of rib cage
  • M99.19 Subluxation complex (vertebral) of abdomen and other regions

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.

Inherited from M99 Biomechanical lesions, not elsewhere classified

Note

  • This category should not be used if the condition can be classified elsewhere.
