M41.4 Header — not billable

Neuromuscular scoliosis

Neuromuscular scoliosis

M41.4 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.

M41.40
Neuromuscular scoliosis, site unspecified

Scoliosis arising as a secondary consequence of an underlying neuromuscular disorder, reported here without specification of the spinal region involved.

M41.41
Neuromuscular scoliosis, occipito-atlanto-axial region

Neuromuscular scoliosis localized to the occipito-atlanto-axial region — lateral spinal curvature at the junction of the skull base, atlas (C1), and axis (C2), driven by an underlying neuromuscular disorder.

M41.42
Neuromuscular scoliosis, cervical region

Lateral spinal curvature of the cervical spine that originates from an underlying neuromuscular disorder — such as cerebral palsy, Friedreich's ataxia, or poliomyelitis — rather than from an idiopathic or congenital bony cause.

M41.43
Neuromuscular scoliosis, cervicothoracic region

Lateral spinal curvature at the cervicothoracic junction (C7–T1 region) caused by an underlying neuromuscular disorder such as cerebral palsy, Friedreich's ataxia, or poliomyelitis.

M41.44
Neuromuscular scoliosis, thoracic region

Neuromuscular scoliosis localized to the thoracic spine, arising secondary to an underlying neurological or muscular disorder such as cerebral palsy, Friedreich's ataxia, or poliomyelitis.

M41.45
Neuromuscular scoliosis, thoracolumbar region

Lateral spinal curvature driven by an underlying neuromuscular disorder — such as cerebral palsy, Friedreich's ataxia, or poliomyelitis — localized to the thoracolumbar junction (T10–L2 region).

M41.46
Neuromuscular scoliosis, lumbar region

Lateral spinal curvature in the lumbar region that develops as a direct consequence of an underlying neuromuscular disorder, such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, or spina bifida.

M41.47
Neuromuscular scoliosis, lumbosacral region

Lateral spinal curvature originating from neuromuscular pathology, localized to the lumbosacral region of the spine.

Inclusion & exclusion notes

Includes

  • Scoliosis secondary to cerebral palsy, Friedreich's ataxia, poliomyelitis and other neuromuscular disorders
