Specific Coding for Plantar fasciitisOverview

Non-specific codes like M67.A require more characters. Use one of these billable codes instead:

  • M67.A0 for Plantar fasciitis, foot

  • Use M67.A01 for Plantar fasciitis, right foot

  • Use M67.A02 for Plantar fasciitis, left foot

  • Use M67.A09 for Plantar fasciitis, unspecified foot

Questions About M67.AOverview

What is the ICD-10 code for plantar fasciitis?

M67.A (sometimes written as M67A) is the ICD-10-CM category for plantar fasciitis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is M67.A (Other disorders of synovium and tendon) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for plantar fasciitis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for plantar fasciitis need a more specific code from this category, such as M67.A01, M67.A02, and M67.A09.

Can M67.A be reported with M72.0?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at M67, which applies to M67.A, lists "palmar fascial fibromatosis [Dupuytren] (M72.0)". 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).
