About M60.00

M60.00 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infective myositis, unspecified site. It belongs to category M60 (myositis), block M60-M63 (disorders of muscles) 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.

Within M60.0, choose M60.00 (unspecified site) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: shoulder (M60.01), upper arm (M60.02), forearm (M60.03), hand and fingers (M60.04), thigh (M60.05), lower leg (M60.06), ankle, foot and toes (M60.07), other site (M60.08) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M60.000 (arm), M60.001 (arm), M60.002 (arm), M60.003 (leg), M60.004 (leg), M60.005 (leg) and M60.009 (site).

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