ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M75.80 [convert to ICD-9-CM] Other shoulder lesions, unspecified shoulder Painful arc syndrome; Shoulder tendinitis; Supraspinatus tendinitis; Tendonitis of shoulder; Tendonitis of supraspinatus ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M76.50 [convert to ICD-9-CM]
In general, ICD-10 has made a real mess of this whole concept of Tendinitis, Bursitis, Synovitis, and/or Tenosynovitis of the Shoulder (but not it alone). It is far too complicated, fragmented, and confusing for anybody to figure out. I note that none of the previous responders to this has even mentioned the M75. Code Set for "Shoulder Lesions."
As it pertains to tendons, Rotator Cuff and in general for all other tendons, "Tendinosis" is one of the many terms used by Orthopedic Surgeons to indicate an "abnormality" of the tendon which they think is causing the patient's problem.
I use the M75.81 and M75.82 for the rotator cuff tendinitis. shoulder tendosynovitis is m65.811 or m65.812. If it is specified as calcific tendinitis, you can use M75.31/M75.32. shoulder tendosynovitis is m65.811 or m65.812. Good day !

M75. 91 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M75. 91 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Supraspinatus tendinopathy is a common source of shoulder pain in athletes that participate in overhead sports (handball, volleyball, tennis, baseball). This tendinopathy is in most cases caused by an impingement of the supraspinatus tendon on the acromion as it passes between the acromion and the humeral head.
M75. 3 - Calcific tendinitis of shoulder | ICD-10-CM.
The names of these muscle-tendon components of the rotator cuff are: the supraspinatus which runs over the top of the ball of the shoulder joint (humeral head); the subscapularis which runs across the front of the humeral head; and. the infraspinatus and the teres minor which run across the back of the humeral head.
Rotator cuff tendonitis — causes shoulder pain. If the shoulder tendonitis is specified as adhesive, assign code 726.0. Calcifying or calcific tendonitis of the shoulder is classified to code 726.11. If the shoulder tendonitis is not further specified, assign code 726.10.
Rotator cuff tendinosis (the disease and degeneration process) occurs when the small muscles of the rotator cuff, the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis, become strained, causing weakness of these structures and subsequent tendonitis (tendon inflammation).
"Tendinitis" is simply a variant spelling of “tendonitis.” Both terms are used for the same condition, which can be confusing to patients.
The supraspinatus muscle abducts the upper arm (test with the arm at the side to avoid overlap with deltoid muscle function). The infraspinatus muscle externally rotates the upper arm at the shoulder.
Supraspinatus is the smallest of the 4 muscles which comprise the Rotator Cuff of the shoulder joint specifically in the supraspinatus fossa. It travels underneath the acromion.
Tendonitis of your shoulder is an inflammation of your rotator cuff and/or biceps tendon. It usually results from your tendon being pinched by surrounding structures. You can develop shoulder tendonitis from participating in certain sports that require the arm to move over the head repeatedly.
Rotator cuff tendinopathy is when a tendon in your shoulder has tiny tears in it or is inflamed and hurts. It's usually caused by overuse or general wear and tear. Sometimes called tendinosis or tendinitis, this type of shoulder pain is more common in people over age 30.

A recent research study showed that even a complete tear wasn't very likely to get bigger (4). In this study, 24 patients who had full thickness supraspinatus tears and who opted to forego surgery were tracked over time. In 2 of the 24 patients, the rotator cuff tear completely healed on its own.
Supraspinatus tendonitis is often attributed to impingement, which is seldom mechanical in athletes. Rotator cuff tendonitis in this population may be related to subtle instability and therefore may be secondary to such factors as eccentric overload, muscle imbalance, and glenohumeral instability or labral lesions.
Supraspinatus tendinosis pain can take a long time to get better. It can also progress to tears of your rotator cuff tendons, perhaps leading to long term permanent weakness. Other complications may include progression to adhesive capsulitis, cuff tear arthropathy, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
