About M77

M77 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other enthesopathies. 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: M77.0 (epicondylitis), M77.1 (epicondylitis), M77.2 (wrist), M77.3 (spur), M77.4 (Metatarsalgia), M77.5 (ankle), M77.8 (not elsewhere classified) and M77.9 (unspecified).

Don't report M77 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: bursitis NOS (M71.9-).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M77, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: bursitis due to use, overuse and pressure (M70.-), osteophyte (M25.7) and spinal enthesopathy (M46.0-).

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