How is M08.24 listed in the Alphabetic Index?

These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to M08.24. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.

  • Still's disease or syndrome › hand joint (juvenile)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M08

The conditions below can never be reported together with M08.24 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • arthropathy in Whipple's disease (M14.8)
  • Felty's syndrome (M05.0)
  • juvenile dermatomyositis (M33.0-)
  • psoriatic juvenile arthropathy (L40.54)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M08.2

The conditions below can never be reported together with M08.24 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • adult-onset Still's disease (M06.1-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M08.24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M08.24 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 M08

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether M08.24 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • any associated underlying condition, such as:
  • regional enteritis [Crohn's disease] (K50.-)
  • ulcerative colitis (K51.-)
