Other codes that can never be billed with M60.009
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M60.009. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M60.009 alone.
Risk adjustment
M60.009 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
M60.009 is named in 8 Medicare coverage policies — 1 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 7 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
