M95Other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue

M95 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other acquired deformities of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue. It belongs to block M95 (other disorders of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue) 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: M95.0 (nose), M95.1 (ear), M95.2 (head), M95.3 (neck), M95.4 (rib), M95.5 (pelvis), M95.8 (system) and M95.9 (unspecified).

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M95, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: acquired absence of limbs and organs (Z89-Z90), acquired deformities of limbs (M20-M21), congenital malformations and deformations of the musculoskeletal system (Q65-Q79), deforming dorsopathies (M40-M43) and 2 more.

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