Each of the codes below is billable. Choose the one that most accurately describes the patient's diagnosis.
Other secondary scoliosis with the spinal region not documented or specified — a lateral spinal curvature arising from an underlying non-congenital, non-neuromuscular cause, assigned when the treating region cannot be identified in the record.
M41.52 identifies scoliosis of the cervical spine that is secondary to an underlying disease or condition — not idiopathic, congenital, or postprocedural in origin.
Secondary scoliosis of the cervicothoracic region (C7–T1 junction) arising from an identifiable underlying disease other than neuromuscular conditions, congenital bony malformation, or prior surgery or radiation.
Lateral spinal curvature of the thoracic region arising from a known underlying cause other than congenital bony malformation, postprocedural change, or postradiation injury.
M41.55 classifies secondary scoliosis of the thoracolumbar region — an abnormal lateral spinal curvature spanning the T10–L2 junction that arises as a consequence of an identifiable underlying disease rather than from an idiopathic or congenital cause.
Lateral spinal curvature localized to the lumbar vertebrae arising from an identifiable underlying cause other than neuromuscular disease, congenital malformation, or idiopathic origin.
M41.57 identifies scoliosis in the lumbosacral region that arises secondary to an underlying condition — not idiopathic or neuromuscular in origin — where the causative disease is classified and sequenced first.
