About M06

M06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other rheumatoid arthritis. It belongs to block M05-M14 (inflammatory polyarthropathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M06.0 (factor), M06.1 (disease), M06.2 (bursitis), M06.3 (nodule), M06.4 (polyarthropathy), M06.8 (arthritis) and M06.9 (unspecified).

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