BILLABLE

| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

M12.20 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of villonodular synovitis (pigmented), unspecified site. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code M1220 is used to code Pigmented villonodular synovitis

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a joint disease characterized by inflammation and overgrowth of the joint lining. It usually affects the hip or knee. It can also occur in the shoulder, ankle, elbow, hand or foot. In PVNS the lining of the joint, called the synovium, becomes swollen and grows. This growth harms the bone next to the joint. The lining also makes extra fluid that can cause swelling and make movement painful. PVNS is idiopathic, it doesn't seem to run in families or be caused by certain jobs or activities. Surgery can help but, even with treatment, PVNS comes back about half the time. If the pain remains then radiation therapy may help. In the worst cases the joint must be replaced.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Villonodular synovitis, site unspecified (exact match)

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 719.20 was previously used, M12.20 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
