ICD Code M53.8 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of M53.8 that describes the diagnosis 'other specified dorsopathies' in more detail.

The ICD code M53 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.
