M92.8 — Other specified juvenile osteochondrosis
M92.8 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for other specified juvenile osteochondrosis. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
M92.8 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
M92.8 is named in 9 Medicare coverage policies — 3 listing it as supporting medical necessity, and 6 listing it as NOT covered. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
