You can expect ICD-10 to bring lots of changes to the way you'll report myositis and other musculoskeletal system and connective tissue disorders, including muscle diastasis. When ICD-10 is enforced, you'll need to confirm the underlying diastasis cause to ensure you are applying the right code. See our expert advice on code selection below.
But, M53.8- other specified dorsopathies can be used just like the old ICD-9 code. It is the "other" code, which means it can be used for a specified condition like facet syndrome.
Unfortunately the GEMs mapping to ICD-10 for this code is M54.08 Panniculitis affecting region of neck and back, sacrococcygeal region. This is defined as inflammation of subcutaneous adipose tissue, which is not consistent with facet syndrome. This is a great example of how doctors who rely only on GEMs...

A. If the documentation is facet arthropathy the index must be followed and the correct code assignment will be M46. 96 Unspecified inflammatory spondylopathy, lumbar region.
There is, unfortunately, still no ICD-10 code for facet syndrome. But, M53. 8- other specified dorsopathiescan be used just like the old ICD-9 code. It is the "other" code, which means it can be used for a specified condition like facet syndrome.

Facet arthropathy is a form of arthritis affecting joints in the spine. Facet joints are located on the back of your spine. They help provide a counterbalance to the discs inside your spine's vertebrae (the small bones that form your backbone).
Spondylosis (aka Facet Pain or Facet Disease) is often used interchangeably with osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease, but they are in fact distinct conditions (which may occur together) with different treatment protocols. Recognizing this is crucial.

Definition/Description. Lumbar facet syndrome refers to a dysfunction at the level of the posterior facet joints of the spine. These joints together with the disc form the intervertebral joint. Changes at the level of the posterior facet joints can influence the disc and vice versa.
Facet joint syndrome is an arthritis-like condition of the spine that can be a significant source of back and neck pain. It is caused by degenerative changes to the joints between the spine bones. The cartilage inside the facet joint can break down and become inflamed, triggering pain signals in nearby nerve endings.
Cervical facet syndrome is a type of osteoarthritis that occurs when the structure of one or more of the vertebral facet joints begins to deteriorate. The cervical vertebrae compose the upper segment of the spine and are mostly located near in the neck. Symptoms.
Arthropathy is a joint disease, of which arthritis is a type. Arthropathies can be associated with a hematologic (blood) disorder or an infection, such as Lyme disease.
Arthropathy: This is the term for any disease of your joints. Doctors may use it instead of "arthritis." Rheumatoid arthritis is considered an inflammatory arthropathy because it makes your joints inflamed.
However, a patient may have an acute case of facet syndrome which does not include degeneration. And this code does not seem to address these acute cases. The moral of the story is to learn how to use the code book.
There is, unfortunately, still no ICD-10 code for facet syndrome. But, M53.8- other specified dorsopathies can be used just like the old ICD-9 code. It is the "other" code, which means it can be used for a specified condition like facet syndrome.
