Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M95) ICD-10-CM
The M95 code range covers other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue with 12 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 10 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
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 M95 Code Range
Acquired deformities are changes in shape that develop in parts of the musculoskeletal system. Here they include the nose, ear, head, neck, chest, ribs, and pelvis.
The subdivisions separate the nose (M95.0), cauliflower ear (M95.1), other head deformities (M95.2), neck (M95.3), chest and ribs (M95.4), and pelvis (M95.5). Cauliflower ear divides further into unspecified (M95.10), right (M95.11), and left (M95.12) ear. Other specified deformities appear under M95.8; unspecified musculoskeletal deformities appear under M95.9.
