Billable codes in this category
Each of the codes below is billable. Choose the one that most accurately describes the patient's diagnosis.
M08.80 classifies juvenile arthritis that falls outside the specifically defined subtypes (systemic, pauciarticular, seronegative polyarticular, seropositive polyarticular, psoriatic, or enthesitis-related) and where no specific joint site is documented or identifiable.
M08.88 classifies other juvenile arthritis affecting a site that falls outside the named joint locations in the M08.8x series — such as the temporomandibular joint, sacroiliac joint, or another anatomically distinct site not captured by shoulder through ankle/foot codes.
Other juvenile arthritis affecting multiple joint sites simultaneously, used when the specific JA subtype does not fit a more defined M08 category and involvement spans more than one discrete anatomical region.
