BillableUnspecified

Is M84.576D billable?

Yes, but M84.576D is an unspecified code. M84.576D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from M84

The conditions below are not part of M84.576D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M84.576D and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • traumatic fracture of bone-see fracture, by site

Code also — inherited from M84.5

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether M84.576D is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • underlying neoplasm

How long has M84.576D existed?

M84.576D 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.
