About M02.89

M02.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other reactive arthropathies, multiple sites. It belongs to category M02 (postinfective and reactive arthropathies), block M00-M02 (infectious arthropathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within M02.8 (other reactive arthropathies), M02.89 is specifically for other reactive arthropathies, multiple sites. Related codes cover unspecified site (M02.80), shoulder (M02.81), elbow (M02.82), wrist (M02.83), hand (M02.84), hip (M02.85), knee (M02.86), ankle and foot (M02.87) and 1 more.

Code first underlying disease, such as: congenital syphilis [Clutton's joints] (A50.5), enteritis due to Yersinia enterocolitica (A04.6), infective endocarditis (I33.0) and viral hepatitis (B15-B19).

As a secondary diagnosis it is a CC (complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the "with CC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 548 (Septic Arthritis with MCC, relative weight 1.9519), DRG 549 (Septic Arthritis with CC, relative weight 1.1435) and DRG 550 (Septic Arthritis without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.8591), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is a manifestation code, so it describes the effect of an underlying disease and can't be the principal diagnosis. Code the underlying condition first.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 711.49 (arthropathy associated with other bacterial diseases, multiple sites), 711.59 (arthropathy associated with other viral diseases, multiple sites) and 711.89 (arthropathy associated with other infectious and parasitic diseases, multiple sites).
