About M89.6

M89.6 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for osteopathy after poliomyelitis. It belongs to category M89 (other disorders of bone), block M86-M90 (other osteopathies) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M89 (other disorders of bone), M89.6 is specifically for osteopathy after poliomyelitis. Related codes cover Algoneurodystrophy (M89.0), physeal arrest (M89.1), development and growth (M89.2), hypertrophy of bone (M89.3), other hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (M89.4), osteolysis (M89.5), major osseous defect (M89.7), other specified disorders of bone (M89.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M89.60 (unspecified site), M89.61 (shoulder), M89.62 (upper arm), M89.63 (forearm), M89.64 (hand), M89.65 (thigh), M89.66 (lower leg), M89.67 (ankle and foot) and 2 more.

Don't report M89.6 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: postpolio syndrome (G14).

Use an additional code (B91) to identify previous poliomyelitis.

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