M24.8 — Other specific joint derangements, not elsewhere classified
Is M24.8 billable?
No — M24.8 is a non-billable header code. M24.8 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 23 billable codes beneath M24.8.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of M24.8, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M24.8 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- iliotibial band syndrome (M76.3)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M24
The conditions below can never be reported together with M24.8 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 — inherited from Chapter 13
