M12.1 — Kaschin-Beck disease
Is M12.1 billable?

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to M12.1.
- Osteochondroarthrosis deformans endemica
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M12
The conditions below can never be reported together with M12.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13
The conditions below are not part of M12.1, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M12.1 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)
