Default principal diagnosis: inpatient Yes · outpatient Yes

Clinical InformationClinical

  • Myotonia

    prolonged failure of muscle relaxation after contraction. this may occur after voluntary contractions, muscle percussion, or electrical stimulation of the muscle. myotonia is a characteristic feature of myotonic disorders.

Patient EducationClinical

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 M62.89Overview

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

The ICD-10-CM code for other specified disorders of muscle is M62.89 (sometimes written as M6289). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Is M62.89 (Other specified disorders of muscle) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report other specified disorders of muscle on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What MS-DRG does M62.89 group to?

When other specified disorders of muscle is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 557, 558, with relative weights from 0.8873 to 1.4883 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Can M62.89 be reported with G72.1?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at M62, which applies to M62.89, 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).

What is the ICD-9 equivalent of M62.89?

Under the General Equivalence Mappings, other specified disorders of muscle converts to ICD-9-CM 728.3 (muscle disorders NEC) and 728.89 (muscle/ligament dis NEC). The mapping is approximate, so confirm the match fits the documentation.
