M72Fibroblastic disorders

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

M72 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for fibroblastic disorders. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • retroperitoneal fibromatosis (D48.3)

Other codes that can never be billed with M72

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M72. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M72 alone.

  • M20.0Deformity of finger(s)
  • M24.5Contracture of joint
  • M67Other disorders of synovium and tendon
  • M72.8Other fibroblastic disorders

Risk adjustment

M72 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.

Code to one of these instead M72

7 child codes. Green means billable.
