2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M62Other disorders of muscle
M62 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for other disorders of muscle, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as M62.00, M62.011, M62.012, and M62.019.

Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Type 1 Excludes
- alcoholic myopathy G72.1
- cramp and spasm R25.2
- drug-induced myopathy G72.0
- myalgia M79.1
- stiff-man syndrome G25.82
Type 2 Excludes
- nontraumatic hematoma of muscle M79.81
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Muscle Disorders
Your muscles help you move and help your body work. Different types of muscles have different jobs. There are many problems that can affect muscles. Muscle disorders can cause weakness, pain or even paralysis.
