M99.64 — Osseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina of sacral region
M99.64 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for osseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina of sacral region. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Risk adjustment
M99.64 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.
