Apr 04, 2016 · “Cervicothoracic” is clearly designated as C7-T1. Though it is not specifically mentioned, “thoracolumbar” likely only includes T12-L1, and “lumbosacral” probably only refers to the L5-S1 interspace. There is a strange rule for cervical disc disorders indicating that you should code to the most superior level of the disorder.
Herniation of the nucleus pulposus (HNP) at the cervical level often results in radiculopathy, marked by compression and inflammation of the cervical nerve root near the neural foramen. Cervical HNP can be generally classified into four types: disc bulge, protrusion, extrusion, and sequestration [1].Jun 28, 2012
Displacement, Cervical Intervertebral Disc Without Myelopathy. Displacement of a cervical intervertebral disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the disc between two adjacent bones (vertebrae) of the cervical spine in the neck (vertebrae C2 through C7).
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code K42 K42.
M48.0202: Spinal stenosis Cervical region.
Overview. A cervical disc displacement occurs when there is a herniation or protrusion between discs in the spine. The bones that form the spine, referred to as vertebrae, feature discs between each bone to protect and allow for flexible movement of the back.
A disc herniation is displacement of disc material beyond the normal confines of the disc space. The terms disc protrusion, disc bulge, disc herniation, ruptured disc, and slipped disc all mean the same thing and imply that disc material has left the normal disc space.

Though it is not specifically mentioned, “thoracolumbar” likely only includes T12-L1, and “lumbosacral” probably only refers to the L5-S1 interspace. There is a strange rule for cervical disc disorders indicating that you should code to the most superior level of the disorder.
It is already included in the code. Likewise, don’t code sciatica (M54.3-) if you code for lumbar disc with radiculopathy. It would be redundant. On a side note, lumbar radiculopathy (M54.16) might be used if pain is not yet known to be due a disc, but it radiates from the lumbar spine.
Cervical Disc Disorder with Radiculopathy. This refers to the condition in which a cervical disc disorder causes radiculopathy in which a nerve in the neck is irritated while leaving the spinal canal (as the nerve root is being pinched by a herniated disc or bone spur).
This refers to a cervical disorder that results in myelopathy (spinal cord gets compressed and causes incoordination in the hands, a heavy feeling in the legs, or numbness and tingling in the legs). Imaging diagnostic studies are required to diagnose cervical disc disorder with myelopathy. The codes are:
If there is a single code to report all other cervical disc disorders and unspecified cervical disc disorders in ICD-9, there are separate codes for other cervical disorders and unspecified cervical disc disorders in ICD-10.
