M14 — Arthropathies in other diseases classified elsewhere

Not billable

Is M14 billable?

No — M14 is a non-billable header code. M14 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 48 billable codes beneath M14.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with M14 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:
  • diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .61-)
  • hematological disorders (M36.2-M36.3)
  • hypersensitivity reactions (M36.4)
  • neoplastic disease (M36.1)
  • neurosyphillis (A52.16)
  • sarcoidosis (D86.86)
  • enteropathic arthropathies (M07.-)
  • juvenile psoriatic arthropathy (L40.54)
  • lipoid dermatoarthritis (E78.81)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M14, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M14 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)

What codes fall under M14? (2)

How long has M14 existed?

M14 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.

Which codes are confused with M14?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with M14 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
