ICD-10-CM M02.811
CMSSource: CMS FY 2026 ICD-10-CM dataset · Effective Oct 1, 2025 – Sep 30, 2026

M02.811 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2026 (October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026) and groups to MS-DRG 548 through 550. 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 942 closely related codes. The code is a manifestation code that cannot be reported as the principal diagnosis. Coders also document this condition as bilateral arthritis of glenohumeral joints. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Immune-mediated/reactive arthropathies.

For Medicare Advantage risk adjustment, M02.811 maps to CMS-HCC Category 92 (Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis) under the V28 model, adding a risk factor of about 0.479 for a community, non-dual, aged beneficiary in payment year 2026.

Manifestation codes describe the manifestation of an underlying disease, not the disease itself, and therefore should not be used as a principal diagnosis.

Patient EducationClinical

Infectious Arthritis

Most kinds of arthritis cause pain and swelling in your joints. Joints are places where two bones meet, such as your elbow or knee. Infectious arthritis is an infection in the joint. The infection comes from a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection that spreads from another part of the body. Symptoms of infectious arthritis include:

Questions About M02.811Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder?

The ICD-10-CM code for other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder is M02.811 (sometimes written as M02811). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

Is M02.811 (Other reactive arthropathies, shoulder) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026.

What MS-DRG does M02.811 group to?

On inpatient claims, other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder maps to MS-DRG 548, 549, 550, with relative weights from 0.8741 to 1.9309 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is M02.811 a CC or MCC?

CMS lists M02.811 as a CC (complication or comorbidity) for FY 2026. Reported as a secondary diagnosis, it moves the inpatient stay to a higher-weighted DRG within its severity family. It does not count when the principal diagnosis is one of the 942 closely related codes in its exclusion list.

Can M02.811 be a principal diagnosis?

No. This is a manifestation code: other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder describes the manifestation of an underlying disease rather than the disease itself, so the underlying condition is sequenced first.

What HCC is M02.811?

M02.811 (other reactive arthropathies, right shoulder) maps to CMS-HCC Category 92 (Bone/Joint/Muscle/Severe Soft Tissue Infections/Necrosis), commonly written as HCC 92, in the CMS-HCC V28 model used for Medicare Advantage risk adjustment in payment year 2026. It mapped to HCC 39 under the retired V24 model. It also maps in the PACE (CMS-HCC V22), ESRD (V21), and ESRD (V24) models. It does not map to any RxHCC in the Part D prescription drug model.

Does M02.811 risk-adjust for Medicare Advantage payment?

Yes. When documented and reported on a Medicare Advantage encounter, M02.811 adds a risk adjustment factor of about 0.479 to the beneficiary's RAF score for a community, non-dual, aged enrollee (published V28 weights range from 0.471 to 0.632 depending on the payment segment). HCC 92 sits at the top of its hierarchy, so no other condition category supersedes it. See the full factor table on the HCC 92 category page.
