M07.60 — Enteropathic arthropathies, unspecified site
Is M07.60 billable?
Yes, but M07.60 is an unspecified code. M07.60 is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, M07.60 is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting M07.60 — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

How is M07.60 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to M07.60. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Arthropathy › enteropathic
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M07
The conditions below can never be reported together with M07.60 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- psoriatic arthropathies (L40.5-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13
The conditions below are not part of M07.60, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M07.60 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- arthropathic psoriasis (L40.5-)
- certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- compartment syndrome (traumatic) (T79.A-)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
- endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
- injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
- neoplasms (C00-D49)
- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
Code also — inherited from M07
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether M07.60 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
How long has M07.60 existed?
M07.60 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
