Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M14

The conditions below can never be reported together with M14.87 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)

Code first — inherited from M14.8

The underlying condition below must be sequenced before M14.87. M14.87 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.

  • underlying disease, such as:
  • amyloidosis (E85.-)
  • erythema multiforme (L51.-)
  • erythema nodosum (L52)
  • hemochromatosis (E83.11-)
  • hyperparathyroidism (E21.-)
  • hypothyroidism (E00-E03)
  • sickle-cell disorders (D57.-)
  • thyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism] (E05.-)
  • Whipple's disease (K90.81)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M14.87, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M14.87 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 M14.87? (3)

How long has M14.87 existed?

M14.87 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.
