Coding Notes for Section M45-M49
- Section Notes:
- Use an external cause code following the code for the musculoskeletal condition, if applicable, to identify the cause of the musculoskeletal condition
-
Section Type-2 Excludes:
Type-2 Excludes
Type-2 Excludes means the excluded conditions are different, although they may appear similar. A patient may have both conditions, but one does not include the other. Excludes 2 means "not coded here." - Arthropathic psoriasis - instead, use code L40.5-
- Certain conditions originating in the perinatal period - instead, use Section P04-P96
- Certain infectious and parasitic diseases - instead, use Section A00-B99
- Compartment syndrome (traumatic) - instead, use code T79.A-
- Complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium - instead, use Section O00-O9A
- Congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities - instead, use Section Q00-Q99
- Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases - instead, use Section E00-E88
- Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes - instead, use Section S00-T88
- Neoplasms - instead, use Section C00-D49
- Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified - instead, use Section R00-R94
