M62. 830 Muscle spasm of back - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
M54. 50, Low back pain, unspecified.
ICD-Code M54. 5 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of chronic low back pain. Its corresponding ICD-9 code is 724.2.
9: Dorsalgia, unspecified.
The current code, M54. 5 (Low back pain), will be expanded into three more specific codes: M54. 50 (Low back pain, unspecified)
M54. 59, other low back pain is used for lower back pain that can be attributed to a specific reason but there is not an applicable code available that describes or defines it. (You can name it but it is does not have its own specific code (i.e. facet syndrome.)
The new diagnosis code – M54. 51 – went into effect on October 1, 2021. This code will be applied to patients meeting indications for treatment with basivertebral nerve radiofrequency neurotomy. Help sustain this vital advocacy with your donations.
16: Radiculopathy Lumbar region.
M54. 5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M54. 5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
M54. 50 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

Dorsalgia means back or spine pain, including low back, mid back, and sciatic pain. It does not include pain related to scoliosis, lordosis, or other specifically classified conditions.
ICD-10 code S39. 012A for Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of lower back, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
For starters, dorsalgia is severe back pain, which could be coming from different parts of the spine. Depending on the specific section of the spine where the pain is coming from, there are six types of dorsalgia. These are: Cervical.
M54. 5, which is generally used to document lower back pain.
Other intervertebral disc disorders, lumbar region The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M51. 86 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Diseases of the nervous system. Approximate Synonyms. Spinal muscular atrophy. Clinical Information. A group of disorders marked by progressive degeneration of motor neurons in the spinal cord resulting in weakness and muscular atrophy, usually without evidence of injury to the corticospinal tracts.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G12.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Symptoms may appear at any age and include progressive loss of coordination of gait, hands, speech, and eye movements. Spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is a genetic disease that attacks nerve cells, called motor neurons, in your spinal cord.
Spinal muscular atrophy (sma) is a genetic disease that attacks nerve cells, called motor neurons, in your spinal cord. These neurons communicate with your voluntary muscles - the ones you can control, like in your arms and legs. As you lose the neurons, your muscles weaken. This can affect walking, crawling, breathing, swallowing and head and neck control.sma runs in families. Parents usually have no symptoms, but still carry the gene. Genetic counseling is important if the disease runs in your family.there are many types of sma, and some of them are fatal. Life expectancy depends on the type you have and how it affects your breathing. There is no cure. Medicines and physical therapy help treat symptoms.
Another interesting part of the CPT code description for 95860-95864 is the phrase “with or without related paraspinal areas.” The paraspinal muscles run alongside the spine. Related paraspinal muscles refers to those paraspinal muscles that line the part of the spine with nerves that are branching off of the spinal cord and innervating the limb muscles being tested during the EMG (e.g., cervical paraspinal muscles would be included in EMG testing of the arm (s) as the “related paraspinal muscles” while lumbar paraspinal muscles would be included in EMG testing of the leg (s) as the “related paraspinal muscles”). The AMA has stated in CPT Assist December 2010 that the paraspinal muscles in these related paraspinal areas cannot be tested independently without testing the corresponding limb muscles which is why the testing of these muscles is included in codes 95860-95864 and not separately reported. The AMA also states in this same article that you may count the paraspinal muscles as one of your five muscles needed to code a complete EMG in the limb being tested.
CPT 95870: Needle electromyography; limited study of muscles in 1 extremity or non-limb (axial) muscles other than thoracic paraspinal, cranial-nerve innervated muscles, or sphincters
Example: If a physician tests the right arm and left arm during an EMG with testing of the bilateral deltoid, bilateral biceps brachii, bilateral triceps brachii, and bilateral adductor pollicis longus muscles, you have four muscles tested in each limb which is two limited EMGs.
As with codes 95870 and 95860-95864, it’s possible for one limb to be tested and support a complete EMG while the other limb is tested and only supports a limited EMG. It’s important to assign the code that most accurately reflects the level of testing “per limb.”.
