About M62.271
M62.271 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle, right ankle and foot. It belongs to category M62 (other disorders of muscle), block M60-M63 (disorders of muscles) 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 M62.27 (nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle, ankle and foot), M62.271 is specifically for nontraumatic ischemic infarction of muscle, right ankle and foot. Related codes cover left ankle and foot (M62.272) and unspecified ankle and foot (M62.279).
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 557 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis with MCC, relative weight 1.489) and DRG 558 (Tendonitis, Myositis and Bursitis without MCC, relative weight 0.8875), 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 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 728.89 (other disorders of muscle, ligament, and fascia).
