M24 — Other specific joint derangements

Not billable

Is M24 billable?

No — M24 is a non-billable header code. M24 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 60 billable codes beneath M24.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with M24 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • current injury - see injury of joint by body region

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of M24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M24 and the excluded code may both be reported.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M24, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M24 and the excluded code may both be reported.

What codes fall under M24? (10)

How long has M24 existed?

M24 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 M24?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with M24 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
