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.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Osseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina
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.
