Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a neck condition that arises when the spinal cord becomes compressed—or squeezed—due to the wear-and-tear changes that occur in the spine as we age. The condition commonly occurs in patients over the age of 50.
ICD-10 code M47. 812 for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Myelopathy is the term used to describe the consequences of spinal cord compression. It characteristically occurs due to spinal cord compression in the neck (the cervical spine), although can occur more uncommonly in the thoracic spine (the portion of the spine within the rib cage).
Spondylosis. Spondylosis (degeneration) of the C5-C6 vertebrae and intervertebral disc occurs at a higher rate compared to other cervical vertebrae. 3. Spondylosis usually results in the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes), eventually leading to stenosis or narrowing of the intervertebral foramina or spinal canal.
Spinal cord compression is caused by a condition that puts pressure on your spinal cord. Symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet can come on gradually or more suddenly, depending on the cause.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M47. 812: Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, cervical region.
Cervical spondylosis without myelopathy is a condition where wear and tear accumulate in your neck, without putting pressure on the spinal cord. The spine is a column of bones called vertebrae, which support your body. In between the vertebrae are spongy tissues called discs. The discs act to cushion your spine.
Spondylosis is a broad term given to degeneration of the spine column. Osteoarthritis refers to the most common form of arthritis and a common cause of spondylosis, which can lead to pain and stiffness in the neck and lower back.
Cervical myelopathy results from compression of the spinal cord in the neck (cervical area of the spine). Symptoms of cervical myelopathy may include problems with fine motor skills, pain or stiffness in the neck, loss of balance, and trouble walking.
Central canal stenosis occurs when one or more bony openings narrows and compresses the passage of the spinal cord through the spinal canal. Spinal cord compression causes pain, inflammation, weakness, dysfunction and debilitation anywhere below the level of compression.
Spinal cord compression—also called cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM)— is caused by any condition that puts pressure on the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the bundle of nerves running down the middle of the back.
Other spondylosis with myelopathy 1 M47.1 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. 2 The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM M47.1 became effective on October 1, 2020. 3 This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M47.1 - other international versions of ICD-10 M47.1 may differ.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M47.1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Acute and chronic conditions characterized by external mechanical compression of the spinal cord due to extramedullary neoplasm; epidural abscess; spinal fractures; bony deformities of the vertebral bodies; and other conditions. Clinical manifestations vary with the anatomic site of the lesion and may include localized pain, weakness, sensory loss, incontinence, and impotence.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G95.20 became effective on October 1, 2021.
M47.012 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Anterior spinal artery compression syndromes, cervical region . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

Certain injuries and disorders may put pressure on the spinal cord itself or of spinal nerve roots which arise from the spinal cord and pass through spaces between the vertebrae. These conditions that cause compression can include:
Read and be guided by the method being used to decompress the area, remember that various procedures can decompress the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots, but the objective is to release the compression and the root operation assigned is “release.”
There are differing procedures that can accomplish decompression of the spinal cord or spinal nerve roots. These include laminotomy (removal of small portion of lamina)/laminectomy (removal of entire bony lamina); foraminotomy/foraminectomy to remove bone around the neural foramen; discectomy to remove a portion of bulging or herniated or degenerative disc; osteophyte (bony growth or bone spurs) removal; corpectomy to remove all or a part of the body of a vertebra and laminoplasty which is the expansion of the spinal canal by cutting the lamina to release the spinal cord.
When a decompressive surgery is performed to relieve pressure on a body part, such as the nerve root or spinal cord, the appropriate root operation will be Release rather than the root operations Excision or Resection.
Spinal procedure coding can be daunting for coders. The spine itself can be quite complicated anatomically and the procedures done to address spinal conditions can be even more complicated! HIA has developed an educational Action Plan to address one of these areas, spinal decompression coding. Below are a few excerpts from that Action Plan.
