M63 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

Specific Coding Applicable to Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere
Non-specific codes like M63 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere:
M63.8 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use M63.80 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, unspecified site - BILLABLE CODE
M63.81 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, shoulder - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.82 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, upper arm - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.83 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, forearm - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.84 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, hand - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.85 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, thigh - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.86 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, lower leg - NON-BILLABLE CODE
M63.87 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, ankle and foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE
Use M63.88 for Disorders of muscle in diseases classified elsewhere, other site - BILLABLE CODE

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Code First
Code FirstCertain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. For such conditions, the ICD-10-CM has a coding convention that requires the underlying condition be sequenced first followed by the manifestation. Wherever such a combination exists, there is a "use additional code" note at the etiology code, and a "code first" note at the manifestation code. These instructional notes indicate the proper sequencing order of the codes, etiology followed by manifestation.
- underlying disease, such as:
- leprosy A30
- neoplasm C49 C79.89 D21 D48.1
- schistosomiasis B65
- trichinellosis B75
Type 1 Excludes
Type 1 ExcludesA 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.
Patient Education
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.
Causes of muscle disorders include:
- Injury or overuse, such as sprains or strains, cramps or tendinitis
- A genetic disorder, such as muscular dystrophy
- Some cancers
- Inflammation, such as myositis
- Diseases of nerves that affect muscles
- Infections
- Certain medicines
Sometimes the cause of muscle disorders is unknown.
