M48.061 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Spinal stenosis, lumbar region without neurogenic claud.
With this type of stenosis, you might experience any of the following symptoms:
Spinal stenosis, cervical region
ICD-10 code M48. 062 for Spinal stenosis, lumbar region with neurogenic claudication is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Stenosis, which means narrowing, can cause pressure on your spinal cord or the nerves that go from your spinal cord to your muscles. Spinal stenosis can happen in any part of your spine but is most common in the lower back. This part of your spine is called your lumbar area.
The ICD10 code for the diagnosis "Spinal stenosis, lumbar region" is "M48. 06". M48. 06 is NOT a 'valid' or 'billable' ICD10 code.

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, compressing the nerves traveling through the lower back into the legs. While it may affect younger patients, due to developmental causes, it is more often a degenerative condition that affects people who are typically age 60 and older.
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of one or more bony openings (foramina) in the vertebrae of the spine. When spinal stenosis occurs in the spinal canal, it is called central canal stenosis and may cause compression of the spinal cord.

ICD-10-CM Code for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, lumbar region M47. 816.
There is no distinction made in ICD-10-CM for central canal stenosis vs foraminal stenosis. Therefore, the M48. 0- code covers both/all types of spinal stenosis.
Neurogenic claudication is usually caused by spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) in the lumbar spine (lower back). The narrowing of the spinal canal is generally caused by wear and tear and arthritic changes in the lower spine.
The ICD code M480 is used to code Lumbar spinal stenosis. Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a medical condition in which the spinal canal narrows and compresses the spinal cord and nerves at the level of the lumbar vertebra.
It can also sometimes be caused by spinal disc herniation, osteoporosis or a tumor. In the cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) region it can be a congenital condition to varying degrees. Lumbar vertebra showing central stenosis and lateral recess stenosis.
