M14: Arthropathies in other diseases classified elsewhere

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

M14 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for arthropathies in other diseases classified elsewhere. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • arthropathy in:
  • diabetes mellitus (E08-E13 with .61-)
  • hematological disorders (M36.2-M36.3)
  • hypersensitivity reactions (M36.4)
  • neoplastic disease (M36.1)
  • neurosyphillis (A52.16)
  • sarcoidosis (D86.86)
  • enteropathic arthropathies (M07.-)
  • juvenile psoriatic arthropathy (L40.54)
  • lipoid dermatoarthritis (E78.81)

Other codes that can never be billed with M14

Their own Excludes1 notes name this code, so the conflict is not listed above.
