About M62.83
M62.83 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for muscle spasm. 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.
Within M62.8 (other specified disorders of muscle), M62.83 is specifically for muscle spasm. Related codes cover muscle weakness (generalized) (M62.81), Rhabdomyolysis (M62.82), Sarcopenia (M62.84), dysfunction of the multifidus muscles, lumbar region (M62.85) and other specified disorders of muscle (M62.89).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M62.830 (of back), M62.831 (of calf) and M62.838 (spasm).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
