M90 — Osteopathies in diseases classified elsewhere

Not billable

Is M90 billable?

No — M90 is a non-billable header code. M90 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 M90.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with M90 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • osteochondritis, osteomyelitis, and osteopathy (in):
  • cryptococcosis (B45.3)
  • diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .69-)
  • gonococcal (A54.43)
  • neurogenic syphilis (A52.11)
  • renal osteodystrophy (N25.0)
  • salmonellosis (A02.24)
  • secondary syphilis (A51.46)
  • syphilis (late) (A52.77)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from M86-M90

The conditions below can never be reported together with M90 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • postprocedural osteopathies (M96.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 13

The conditions below are not part of M90, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, M90 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)
  • compartment syndrome (traumatic) (T79.A-)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)
  • endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E88)
  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)

What codes fall under M90? (3)

How long has M90 existed?

M90 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 M90?

ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with M90 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
