Disorders of muscles (M60-M63) ICD-10-CM
The M60–M63 section covers disorders of muscles with 556 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes, of which 420 are billable in fiscal year 2027. The section is organized into the 4 code ranges listed below.
Type 1 Excludes
A 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.
- dermatopolymyositis M33
- myopathy in amyloidosis E85
- myopathy in polyarteritis nodosa M30.0
- myopathy in rheumatoid arthritis M05.32
- myopathy in scleroderma M34
- myopathy in Sjögren's syndrome M35.03
- myopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus M32
Type 2 Excludes
A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

About the M60–M63 Code Range

M60 groups myositis by form, including infective and interstitial forms, and also includes a foreign-body granuloma of soft tissue. M61 separates muscle calcification and bone formation into forms associated with trauma, paralysis or burns, along with progressive and other forms.
M62 includes muscle separation or rupture without trauma, immobility syndrome, contracture and muscle wasting. M63 identifies muscle disorders in diseases classified elsewhere.
