ICD-10-CM does not assume a relationship between the two conditions. The physician must document a cause and effect relationship in order to code diabetic osteomyelitis using the diabetic code E10. 69, Type 1 diabetes with other specified complication or E11. 69, for Type 2 diabetes with other specified complication.
Osteomyelitis, unspecified. M86.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM M86.9 became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of M86.9 - other international versions of ICD-10 M86.9 may differ.

A: You are correct that there is an assumed relationship between diabetes and osteomyelitis when both conditions are present, unless the physician indicates the acute osteomyelitis is totally unrelated to the diabetes. It does not matter if the osteomyelitis is acute, chronic, or unspecified.

Osteomyelitis is inflammation or swelling that occurs in the bone. It can result from an infection somewhere else in the body that has spread to the bone, or it can start in the bone — often as a result of an injury. Osteomyelitis is more common in younger children (five and under) but can happen at any age.

Chronic osteomyelitis represents a progressive inflammatory process caused by pathogens, resulting in bone destruction and sequestrum formation. It may present with periods of quiescence of variable duration, whereas its occurrence, type, severity and prognosis is multifactorial.
The incorrect portion of the response came as an aside at the end, where it was stated that “it would be redundant to assign codes for both diabetic nephropathy (E11. 21) and diabetic chronic kidney disease (E11. 22), as diabetic chronic kidney disease is a more specific condition.” It is true you wouldn't code both.
21 and E11. 22 have an excludes 1 notes therefore they can be coded together as long as a separate renal manifestation is present, I would just be careful when coding the actual renal condition as there are some renal codes that are excluded when using CKD codes.

In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
Osteomyelitis can cause severe pain in the infected bone. If it is not treated , it can kill bone tissue. Inflammation of the bone marrow and adjacent bone caused by a pyogenic organism; it may remain localized or may spread through the bone to involve the marrow, cortex, cancellous tissue, and periosteum. Codes.
Acute osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone caused by an infectious organism. The condition develops rapidly during the course of several days. It is characterized by localized pain, soft-tissue swelling, and tissue warmth at the site of the infection, plus systemic symptoms such as fever, irritability, fatigue, and nausea.
Chronic multifocal osteomyelitis is a rare condition that also is referred to as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis, or SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis). The cause of the condition is unknown, and tissue cultures typically fail to identify any infectious organism.
Multiple sites. Other osteomyelitis (M86.8) which includes Brodie’s abscess, requires only the general region (shoulder, upper arm, forearm, hand, thigh, lower leg, ankle/foot, other site, and unspecified site). Laterality is not a component of codes in category M86.8. Unspecified osteomyelitis (M86.9) is not specific to a site.
Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone that typically is further differentiated as acute, sub-acute, or chronic. In ICD-9-CM, documentation of the general site of the inflammation/infection (such as shoulder region, forearm, or ankle), along with identification of the inflammation/infection as a current acute/sub-acute infection or a chronic condition, is all that is required to assign the most specific code.
Chronic osteomyelitis is a severe, persistent inflammation/infection that can recur and be difficult to treat. A chronic infection also may present with a draining sinus, presenting a greater risk for complications, such as major bo ny defects.
