About M47.2
M47.2 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other spondylosis with radiculopathy. It belongs to category M47 (spondylosis), block M45-M49 (spondylopathies) 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 9 subcodes must be used instead.
Within M47, choose M47.2 (Other spondylosis with radiculopathy) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: anterior spinal and vertebral artery compression syndromes (M47.0), other spondylosis with myelopathy (M47.1), other spondylosis (M47.8) and unspecified (M47.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M47.20 (site unspecified), M47.21 (occipito-atlanto-axial region), M47.22 (cervical region), M47.23 (cervicothoracic region), M47.24 (thoracic region), M47.25 (thoracolumbar region), M47.26 (lumbar region), M47.27 (lumbosacral region) and 1 more.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
