Limited mandibular range of motion The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M26. 52 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M26.
While there are no codes for decreased ROM specifically, there are plenty of other codes that would apply to patients experiencing this symptom. For example, if a patient presents with decreased ROM in the knee, applicable codes may include those for difficulty walking or gait abnormality (R26. 2 or R26.
898 for Other symptoms and signs involving the musculoskeletal system is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
Range of Motion and Joint Mobility Treatment of Musculoskeletal System - Upper Back / Upper Extremity. ICD-10-PCS F07K0ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
The reasons include: Severe knee injury. Loose body in knee joint. Improper rehab after surgery.
What is reduced range of movement? Reduced range of movement is where there is a limitation of movement at a joint. The movement may become stiff or painful. Pain or stiffness may restrict the normal fluency of the joint's range.

4 Steps to taking accurate range of motion (ROM) measurements for work compHave your patient warm up by stretching for two minutes. ... Use the proper tool. ... Measure both sides. ... Measure multiple times! ... Report your results in the “Physical Examination” section of the PR-4 report.
How Is Range of Motion Measured?Passive Range of Motion.Active-Assistive Range of Motion.Active Range of Motion.
There are three basic types of range of motion: passive, active-assistive and active, defined by the whether, and to what degree, the patient can move the joint voluntarily.
Documenting Knee Range of MotionIf a person has 10 degrees of knee hyperextension and 130 degrees of knee flexion, it would be documented as 10-0-130.If a person has a 10 degree contracture and loss of full knee extension with 130 degrees of knee flexion, it would be documented as 0-10-130.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z74.09 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( Z74.09) and the excluded code together.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
Joint stiffness may be either the symptom of pain on moving a joint, the symptom of loss of range of motion or the physical sign of reduced range of motion.
Type-1 Excludes mean the conditions excluded are mutually exclusive and should never be coded together. Excludes 1 means "do not code here."
For example, if a patient presents with decreased ROM in the knee, applicable codes may include those for difficulty walking or gait abnormality (R26.2 or R26.89), knee pain (M25.561 or M25.562), knee stiffness (M25 .661 or M25.662), or knee effusion (M25.461 or M25.462).
Here is a resource that lists ICD-10 codes for common spinal conditions. As a secondary code, you could use M25.60, Stiffness of unspecified joint, not elsewhere classified (keep in mind that there is not a spine-specific option in that family of codes).
We’ve received numerous questions about how to code in very specific patient scenarios. However, because ICD-10 places such a strong emphasis on clinical judgment—which requires you, as the therapist, to select the most complete, accurate, and specific code (s) possible based on your assessment of the patient—we cannot provide coding advice for those scenarios. But, if you are able to provide supporting documentation, you can submit specific coding questions to this AHA portal.
While there is not an ICD-10 code for impaired balance, there are several options that provide a much higher degree of specificity. These include the codes listed in the R26 (Abnormalities of gait and mobility) and R27 (Other lack of coordination) series. To select the code that best describes the patient’s condition, you’ll need to use your clinical judgment. You also may need to reference the coding synonyms provided in resources like this one.
Per the official ICD-10 coding guidelines (which you can find here ), “The aftercare Z codes should not be used for aftercare for conditions such as injuries or poisonings, where 7th characters are provided to identify subsequent care. For example, for aftercare of an injury, assign the acute injury code with the 7th character ‘D’ (subsequent encounter).” Based on those guidelines, if the surgery resulted from an injury that allows for the seventh character, you would use the original acute injury code with the seventh character “D.”
Your treatment diagnosis doesn’t necessarily have to match your referring physician’s diagnosis. With ICD-9, therapists typically used only the treatment diagnosis codes, leaving off the “true” diagnosis codes (i.e., medical diagnosis codes), because insurance companies only required treatment diagnosis codes for payment.
Yes, M54.5 is a complete, billable code, and thus, you can use it as the primary. However, because it’s not a very specific code, you should only use it as the patient’s primary diagnosis code if there’s not a more specific code available to accurately describe the patient’s condition. If the patient has a confirmed underlying diagnosis (i.e., the condition actually causing the back pain), then you should code for that first. If not, then make sure you explain those details in your documentation.
