Patient EducationClinical

Bone Diseases

Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body. They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. During childhood and your teens, your body adds new bone faster than it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can lose bone faster than you make bone.

Questions About M92Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for other juvenile osteochondrosis?

M92 is the ICD-10-CM category for other juvenile osteochondrosis, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is M92 (Other juvenile osteochondrosis) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for other juvenile osteochondrosis, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for other juvenile osteochondrosis need a more specific code from this category, such as M92.00, M92.01, and M92.02.

Can M92 be reported with a code from M96?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block M91-M94, which applies to M92, lists "postprocedural chondropathies (M96.-)". 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).
