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.

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to M62: its own notes plus those printed at block M60-M63 and Chapter 13. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes1

Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

On M62 itself
From Block M60-M63 Disorders of muscles applies to 420 codes
  • dermatopolymyositis (M33.-)
  • myopathy in amyloidosis (E85.-)
  • myopathy in polyarteritis nodosa (M30.0)
  • myopathy in rheumatoid arthritis (M05.32)
  • myopathy in scleroderma (M34.-)
  • myopathy in Sjögren's syndrome (M35.03)
  • myopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus (M32.-)

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

On M62 itself
  • nontraumatic hematoma of muscle (M79.81)
From Block M60-M63 Disorders of muscles applies to 420 codes
  • muscular dystrophies and myopathies (G71-G72)
From Chapter 13 (M00-M99) Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue applies to 6,687 codes
  • 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)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

From Chapter 13 (M00-M99) Diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue applies to 6,687 codes
  • Use an external cause code following the code for the musculoskeletal condition, if applicable, to identify the cause of the musculoskeletal condition

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.

Questions About M62Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other disorders of muscle?

M62 is the ICD-10-CM category for other disorders of muscle, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is M62 (Other disorders of muscle) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other disorders of muscle, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other disorders of muscle need a more specific code from this category, such as M62.00, M62.011, and M62.012.

Can M62 be reported with G72.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on M62 lists "alcoholic myopathy (G72.1)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
