M95
M95 — Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
M95 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. 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.
- acquired absence of limbs and organs (Z89-Z90)
- acquired deformities of limbs (M20-M21)
- congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system (Q65-Q79)
- deforming dorsopathies (M40-M43)
- dentofacial anomalies [including malocclusion] (M26.-)
- postprocedural musculoskeletal disorders (M96.-)
Risk adjustment
M95 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 M95
