Other idiopathic scoliosis
M41.2 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.
Idiopathic scoliosis that falls outside the infantile, juvenile, and adolescent age-defined subcategories, with the spinal region of involvement not documented or not specified.
Idiopathic lateral spinal curvature localized to the cervical region, with no identifiable underlying structural, neuromuscular, or congenital bony cause, and not classified as infantile, juvenile, or adolescent onset.
Idiopathic scoliosis of undetermined subtype localized to the cervicothoracic spinal region (approximately C7–T1 junction), where no identifiable structural, neuromuscular, or congenital cause explains the lateral curvature.
M41.24 identifies idiopathic scoliosis of the thoracic spine that does not fit the infantile, juvenile, or adolescent onset subcategories — a billable, site-specific code within the M41.2 (Other idiopathic scoliosis) family.
Idiopathic scoliosis of unknown cause localized to the thoracolumbar spinal region, where the curve's end vertebrae span the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine (typically T10–L2), not attributable to congenital bony malformation, neuromuscular disease, or prior surgical or radiation intervention.
M41.26 identifies idiopathic scoliosis of the lumbar spine that does not fall under the juvenile (M41.116) or adolescent (M41.126) subcategories — capturing adult-onset or otherwise unclassified idiopathic lumbar curvature with a Cobb angle ≥10°.
M41.27 classifies idiopathic scoliosis of the lumbosacral region that does not fit the defined subtypes of infantile, juvenile, or adolescent idiopathic scoliosis — specifically when the curve apex or primary structural involvement is at the lumbosacral junction (L4–S1 segment).
