About M62.441

M62.441 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contracture of muscle, right hand. 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 M62.44 (contracture of muscle, hand), M62.441 is specifically for contracture of muscle, right hand. Related codes cover left hand (M62.442) and unspecified hand (M62.449).

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 555 (Signs and Symptoms of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue with MCC, relative weight 1.2913) and DRG 556 (Signs and Symptoms of Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue without MCC, relative weight 0.8211), 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 728.85 (spasm of muscle).
