Subluxation stenosis of neural canal
Subluxation stenosis of neural canal
M99.2 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.
M99.20 identifies subluxation stenosis of the neural canal localized to the head region — a biomechanical lesion in which positional displacement of a cranial or upper cervical segment narrows the neural canal passageway.
Subluxation stenosis of the neural canal in the cervical region — narrowing of the spinal canal at the neck caused by vertebral subluxation affecting nerve root or spinal cord space.
Neural canal narrowing in the thoracic spine caused by a vertebral subluxation — a biomechanical lesion reducing the space available for the spinal cord and nerve roots at the thoracic level.
M99.23 identifies narrowing of the lumbar neural canal caused by vertebral subluxation — a biomechanical lesion in which spinal segment malalignment mechanically compromises the space available for neural structures.
Narrowing of the sacral neural canal caused by positional or segmental subluxation of sacral vertebral structures, classified as a biomechanical lesion under M99.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the pelvic region caused by subluxation — a biomechanical displacement of adjacent structures that mechanically compromises the canal space.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the lower extremity caused by a subluxation — a partial dislocation or biomechanical displacement — that mechanically compresses the neural passageway in that region.
Neural canal narrowing in the upper extremity caused by a biomechanical subluxation complex — a positional or movement-based stenosis rather than osseous, disc, or connective tissue pathology.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the rib cage region caused by positional or mechanical subluxation of adjacent bony or soft-tissue structures, classified as a biomechanical lesion not attributable to a more specific structural diagnosis.
Subluxation stenosis of the neural canal affecting the abdominal region or other anatomical regions not specifically indexed elsewhere in the M99.2 subcategory.
