M72.2 — Plantar fascial fibromatosis
Can I still bill M72.2?
No — M72.2 stopped being billable on October 1, 2026. M72.2 still exists in ICD-10-CM but was subdivided for FY2027 and became a non-billable header code. Because M72.2 still appears in a code lookup, this change is easy to miss — but submitting it on or after October 1, 2026 will be denied for lack of specificity. Use one of the more specific codes below instead.
