M62.82 is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for rhabdomyolysis. It is valid on HIPAA claims for fiscal year 2027 (October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027) and groups to MS-DRG 557 through 558. 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 227 closely related codes. In AHRQ's Clinical Classifications Software (CCSR), this diagnosis falls under Muscle disorders.
