Spinal stenosis, lumbar region. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M48.06 - other international versions of ICD-10 M48.06 may differ.
Spondylosis. Approximate Synonyms. Facet syndrome of lumbar spine. Lumbar facet joint pain. Lumbar spondylosis. Lumbar spondylosis without myelopathy. Spondylosis of lumbar joint. ICD-10-CM M47.816 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 551 Medical back problems with mcc.
M48.00 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M48.00 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M48.00 - other international versions of ICD-10 M48.00 may differ. Narrowing of the spinal canal.
Lumbar spondylosis describes degenerative changes (arthritic changes) within the lumbar spine. Lumbar canal stenosis means narrowing or compression of the spinal nerves in the lower back due to spinal degeneration (wear and tear).
M47. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M47.
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 .
ICD-10-CM Code for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, lumbar region M47. 816.
06.
Spondylosis is a condition in which there is abnormal wear on the cartilage and bones of the neck (cervical vertebrae). It is a common cause of chronic neck pain. Spondylosis is caused by chronic wear on the spine.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M47. 812: Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, cervical region.
Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, lumbosacral region. M47. 817 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M47.
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.
816 - Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, lumbar region.
Definition. Lumbar spondylosis (LS) is a radiographic diagnosis that refers to degenerative changes of the discs, vertebral bodies and paired zygapophysial joints (z-joints) of the lumbar spineand may be associated with low back pain (LBP).
ICD-10-CM Code for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, lumbosacral region M47. 817.
A degenerative spinal disease that can involve any part of the vertebra, the intervertebral disk, and the surrounding soft tissue. Degeneration of the spinal bone where spinal columns are fused and immobilized. Code History.
neoplasms ( C00-D49) symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified ( R00 - R94) Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. Clinical Information. A degenerative spinal disease that can involve any part of the vertebra, the intervertebral disk, and the surrounding soft tissue.
Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too. Symptoms might appear gradually or not at all. They include pain in your neck or back, numbness, weakness or pain in your arms or legs, and foot problems.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M48.00 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Narrowing of the spinal canal. Your spine, or backbone, protects your spinal cord and allows you to stand and bend. Spinal stenosis causes narrowing in your spine. The narrowing can occur at the center of your spine, in the canals branching off your spine and/or between the vertebrae, the bones of the spine.
The narrowing puts pressure on your nerves and spinal cord and can cause pain.spinal stenosis occurs mostly in people older than 50. Younger people with a spine injury or a narrow spinal canal are also at risk. Diseases such as arthritis and scoliosis can cause spinal stenosis, too.
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.
These spinal disc codes appear to be a bit complex, but with some study and evaluation, the logic used to create them becomes clear. The provider can use the codes to guide proper documentation and the coder then can select the right codes with confidence.
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.
