M62 — Other disorders of muscle
Is M62 billable?
No — M62 is a non-billable header code. M62 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 M62.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with M62 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
The conditions below are not part of M62, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M62 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- nontraumatic hematoma of muscle (M79.81)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M60-M63
The conditions below can never be reported together with M62 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 M62, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M62 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)

- symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from M60-M63
The conditions below are not part of M62, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M62 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has M62 existed?
M62 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 M62?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with M62 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
