M79.0 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of rheumatism, unspecified. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code M790 is used to code Rheumatism

Rheumatism or rheumatic disorder is an umbrella term for conditions causing chronic, often intermittent pain affecting the joints and/or connective tissue. The study of, and therapeutic interventions in, such disorders is called rheumatology. The term "rheumatism", however, does not designate any specific disorder, but covers at least 200 different conditions.
