Other spondylosis with radiculopathy
M47.2 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.
Degenerative spinal disease (spondylosis) complicated by nerve root compression or irritation (radiculopathy), reported when the affected spinal region is not documented or cannot be determined.
Degenerative spinal disease at the occipito-atlanto-axial region (C0–C2) producing nerve root compression or irritation with documented radiculopathy.
Degenerative cervical spine disease with confirmed nerve root involvement, producing radicular symptoms in the arm, hand, or shoulder girdle attributable to osteophyte formation, disc degeneration, or foraminal stenosis at the cervical level.
M47.23 identifies degenerative spine disease (spondylosis) at the cervicothoracic junction — the C7-T1 transition zone — accompanied by documented nerve root compression producing radiculopathy.
Degenerative spinal disease of the thoracic vertebrae (T1–T12) that produces nerve root compression or irritation, resulting in thoracic radiculopathy — often presenting as band-like chest wall or trunk pain radiating along the dermatomal path of the affected thoracic nerve root.
Degenerative spinal disease at the thoracolumbar junction (T12–L1 region) with documented nerve root compression producing radicular symptoms.
Degenerative spinal disease of the lumbar vertebrae (arthrosis, osteophyte formation, facet joint degeneration) producing documented nerve root compression or irritation — radiculopathy — localized to the lumbar region.
M47.27 captures degenerative spinal disease of the lumbosacral region — bony changes such as osteophytes, facet arthrosis, or disc space narrowing — that produces documented nerve root compression or irritation (radiculopathy) at the L5-S1 junction and surrounding segments.
Degenerative spinal disease (spondylosis) of the sacral and sacrococcygeal region with documented nerve root irritation or compression (radiculopathy).
