M48.8X3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of other specified spondylopathies, cervicothoracic region. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code M48 is used to code Spondyloarthropathy

Spondyloarthropathy or spondyloarthrosis refers to any joint disease of the vertebral column. As such, it is a class or category of diseases rather than a single, specific entity. It differs from spondylopathy, which is a disease of the vertebra itself. However, many conditions involve both spondylopathy and spondyloarthropathy.
