Each of the codes below is billable. Choose the one that most accurately describes the patient's diagnosis.
M24.80 captures joint derangements that are specific in type but documented without identifying which joint is involved — a residual category for named joint pathology that doesn't fit a more precise site-specific code.
M24.89 classifies a specific, named joint derangement occurring at a joint that is neither covered by a more precise M24.8x subcode nor falling under any other ICD-10-CM category — a true residual bucket for unusual or lesser-coded joints.
