M02.362 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Reiter's disease, left knee. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 545 through 547. As a secondary diagnosis, it counts as a complication or comorbidity (CC) and moves an inpatient stay to a higher severity level within its MS-DRG family. It does not count, however, when the principal diagnosis is one of 943 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Immune-mediated/reactive arthropathies.
For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, M02.362 maps to CMS-HCC Category 94 (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Other Specified Systemic Connective Tissue Disorders) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.268 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2026.
