What are the treatment options?
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.

K22. 4 - Dyskinesia of esophagus | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 | Dyskinesia of esophagus (K22. 4)
The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects the mouth to the stomach. During swallowing, it contracts in a coordinated way to move food or liquid to the stomach. Diffuse esophageal spasm causes the esophagus to contract in an uncoordinated way. As a result, what is swallowed is not pushed down into the stomach.
K22. 8 is a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code meaning 'Other specified diseases of esophagus'.

Tertiary contractions of the esophagus are described by radiologists as the irregular contraction or indentations of the distal esophageal wall. Corkscrew esophagus, seen in diffuse esophageal spasm and achalasia esophagus, is also referred to as tertiary contraction.
Diagnosis and Tests Other tests that help diagnose esophageal spasms include: Barium swallow: This test requires you to swallow a solution containing barium. X-rays are taken while the barium moves down your esophagus. If a stricture (narrowing) is present, the barium may become stuck or slows down.
Manometry. This is the only test that can confirm esophageal spasms. During this procedure, the doctor inserts a thin tube into your esophagus. Sensors on the tube measure pressure in the esophagus and reveal how well the muscles relax when you swallow.
It's closely related to diffuse esophageal spasms. The main difference between the two conditions is that nutcracker esophagus usually doesn't cause you to regurgitate food or liquids, and diffuse esophageal spasms often do.
ICD-10-CM Code for Gastro-esophageal reflux disease with esophagitis K21. 0.
Disease of esophagus, unspecified K22. 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 K22. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Presbyesophagus is a term used to describe an abnormal shape of the swallowing tube (esophagus) that occurs in some individuals. In this situation, the esophagus appears wavier than a typically straight esophagus. This change may impact esophageal movement (motility).
CPT 91035 can be used for bravo acid reflux. This CPT code needs to be reported with CPT 43235 and CPT 43239.
Dysmotility is a condition in which muscles of the digestive system become impaired and changes in the speed, strength or coordination in the digestive organs occurs. In the normal small intestine, liquefied food and secretions including digestive enzymes are pushed onwards by waves of muscular contraction.
K21. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Esophagogastroduodenoscopy ProceduresCPT® Code 43247 - Esophagogastroduodenoscopy Procedures - Codify by AAPC.
Diffuse esophageal spasm (DES) is a condition characterized by uncoordinated contractions of the esophagus, which may cause difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) or regurgitation. In some cases, it may causes symptoms such as chest pain, similar to heart disease. The cause of DES remains unknown.
Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used. The list of Inclusion Terms is useful for determining the correct code in some cases, but the list is not necessarily exhaustive.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 530.5 was previously used, K22.4 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
A sudden, violent, involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. An involuntary contraction of a muscle or group of muscles. Spasms may involve skeletal muscle or smooth muscle. Reimbursement claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015 require the use of ICD-10-CM codes.
M62.57 Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, ankle and foot. M62.571 Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, right ankle and foot. M62.572 Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, left ankle and foot.
