About M75

M75 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for shoulder lesions. It belongs to block M70-M79 (other soft tissue disorders) 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M75.0 (shoulder), M75.1 (traumatic), M75.2 (tendinitis), M75.3 (shoulder), M75.4 (shoulder), M75.5 (shoulder), M75.8 (lesions) and M75.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M75, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: shoulder-hand syndrome (M89.0-).

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