About coding sacrum acquired angulation
The ICD-10-CM code for sacrum acquired angulation is M43.8 (Other specified deforming dorsopathies). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on M43.8.
Within M43, choose M43.8 (Other specified deforming dorsopathies) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Spondylolysis (M43.0), spondylolisthesis (M43.1), fusion of spine (M43.2), recurrent atlantoaxial dislocation with myelopathy (M43.3), other recurrent atlantoaxial dislocation (M43.4), other recurrent vertebral dislocation (M43.5), torticollis (M43.6) and deforming dorsopathy, unspecified (M43.9).
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M43.8X (dorsopathies).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of M43.8, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: kyphosis and lordosis (M40.-) and scoliosis (M41.-).
