ICD Code M25 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the ten child codes of M25 that describes the diagnosis 'other joint disorder, not elsewhere classified' in more detail.

The ICD code M25 is used to code Arthritis

Arthritis (from Greek arthro-, joint + -itis, inflammation; plural: arthritides) is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation in one or more joints. There are over 100 different forms of arthritis. The most common form of arthritis is osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease), a result of trauma to the joint, infection of the joint, or age. Other arthritis forms are rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and related autoimmune diseases. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection.
