About M47.89
M47.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other spondylosis. 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 M47.8, choose M47.89 (Other spondylosis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy (M47.81).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M47.891 (occipito-atlanto-axial region), M47.892 (cervical region), M47.893 (cervicothoracic region), M47.894 (thoracic region), M47.895 (thoracolumbar region), M47.896 (lumbar region), M47.897 (lumbosacral region), M47.898 (sacral and sacrococcygeal 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.
