About M70.89

M70.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure multiple sites. It belongs to category M70 (soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure), block M70-M79 (other soft tissue disorders) 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 M70.8 (other soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure), M70.89 is specifically for other soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure multiple sites. Related codes cover of unspecified site (M70.80), of shoulder (M70.81), of upper arm (M70.82), of forearm (M70.83), of hand (M70.84), of thigh (M70.85), lower leg (M70.86), of ankle and foot (M70.87) and 1 more.

Use an additional code for: external cause code to identify activity causing disorder (Y93.-).

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 729.99 (other disorders of soft tissue).
