M35.0 Header — not billable

Sjogren syndrome

Sjogren syndrome

M35.0 is a header (parent) code in the ICD-10-CM hierarchy. It is not billable for claim submission. Use one of the billable child codes listed below.

Billable codes in this category

Each of the codes below is billable. Choose the one that most accurately describes the patient's diagnosis.

M35.00
Sjogren syndrome, unspecified

M35.00 identifies Sjögren syndrome where the documentation does not specify any associated organ or system manifestation — the default code when the clinical picture is confirmed Sjögren's but no organ-specific subtype is documented.

M35.01
Sjogren syndrome with keratoconjunctivitis

Sjögren syndrome with keratoconjunctivitis sicca — the specific subcode for Sjögren-related dry eye and corneal inflammation confirmed as autoimmune in etiology.

M35.02
Sjogren syndrome with lung involvement

Sjögren syndrome with documented pulmonary manifestations, classified under systemic connective tissue disorders in ICD-10-CM Chapter 13.

M35.03
Sjogren syndrome with myopathy

Sjögren syndrome with documented skeletal muscle involvement (myopathy), classified under systemic connective tissue disorders in ICD-10-CM Chapter 13.

M35.04
Sjogren syndrome with tubulo-interstitial nephropathy

Sjögren syndrome with renal tubulo-interstitial involvement, capturing the specific manifestation of tubulointerstitial nephropathy — including renal tubular acidosis — as a direct complication of the systemic autoimmune disease.

M35.05
Sjogren syndrome with inflammatory arthritis

Sjögren syndrome presenting with inflammatory arthritis as a documented systemic manifestation, classified under the M35.0 Sjögren syndrome family of codes.

M35.06
Sjogren syndrome with peripheral nervous system involvement

M35.06 identifies Sjögren syndrome in which the autoimmune process has extended to involve the peripheral nervous system, such as sensory neuropathy, sensorimotor polyneuropathy, or autonomic neuropathy, as a documented systemic manifestation.

M35.07
Sjogren syndrome with central nervous system involvement

Sjögren syndrome with documented involvement of the central nervous system, including brain, spinal cord, or meninges manifestations attributable to the underlying autoimmune disease.

M35.08
Sjogren syndrome with gastrointestinal involvement

Sjögren syndrome presenting with documented gastrointestinal tract involvement, classified under systemic connective tissue disorders (M35.0x family).

M35.09
Sjogren syndrome with other organ involvement

M35.09 captures Sjögren syndrome when the organ involvement doesn't match any of the more specific M35.0x codes — a true residual category for documented systemic manifestations outside the named subcategories.

M35.0A
Sjogren syndrome with glomerular disease

Sjögren syndrome with documented glomerular disease as a systemic manifestation — a specific subset of M35.0 reserved for cases where renal glomerular involvement is clinically established.

M35.0B
Sjogren syndrome with vasculitis

M35.0B identifies Sjögren syndrome in which vasculitis — inflammation of blood vessel walls — has been documented as an associated systemic manifestation of the underlying autoimmune disease.

M35.0C
Sjogren syndrome with dental involvement

M35.0C identifies Sjögren syndrome when the documented manifestation is dental involvement — specifically the oral and salivary gland effects of this systemic autoimmune condition, such as xerostomia-driven rampant caries, salivary gland dysfunction, or parotid enlargement.
