Each of the codes below is billable. Choose the one that most accurately describes the patient's diagnosis.
M71.80 classifies a bursopathy that is neither bursitis nor a standard bursal cyst but falls under a specified type of bursal pathology — used only when the affected site is not documented or cannot be determined.
M71.88 classifies a bursopathy — an inflammatory or structural disorder of a bursa — that is both specified in type (not simply 'unspecified') and located at a site that does not map to any other individually coded bursal location within the M71 category.
M71.89 captures other specified bursopathies — excluding the named subtypes (abscess, synovial cyst, calcium deposit, infective) — when the condition involves multiple anatomic sites simultaneously.
