- M99.80 Other biomechanical lesions of head region
- M99.81 Other biomechanical lesions of cervical region
- M99.82 Other biomechanical lesions of thoracic region
- M99.83 Other biomechanical lesions of lumbar region
- M99.84 Other biomechanical lesions of sacral region
- M99.85 Other biomechanical lesions of pelvic region
- M99.86 Other biomechanical lesions of lower extremity
- M99.87 Other biomechanical lesions of upper extremity
- M99.88 Other biomechanical lesions of rib cage
- M99.89 Other biomechanical lesions 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.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Other biomechanical lesions
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.
