Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal
Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal
M99.5 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.
M99.50 identifies narrowing of the neural canal at the head region caused by intervertebral disc tissue — classified as a biomechanical lesion under the M99 category.
Narrowing of the cervical neural canal caused specifically by intervertebral disc material compressing the spinal canal in the cervical region, classified as a biomechanical lesion.
M99.52 identifies narrowing of the neural canal in the thoracic spine caused specifically by intervertebral disc pathology, classified under biomechanical lesions of the musculoskeletal system.
Narrowing of the lumbar neural canal caused by encroachment from an intervertebral disc, classified as a biomechanical lesion under the M99 category when no more specific structural diagnosis applies.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the sacral spine caused by intervertebral disc pathology, classified as a biomechanical lesion under M99.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the pelvic region caused by intervertebral disc pathology, classified under biomechanical lesions of the musculoskeletal system.
M99.56 identifies intervertebral disc stenosis of the neural canal specifically attributed to biomechanical lesion at the lower extremity region, classified under the M99 biomechanical lesions category.
Narrowing of the neural canal caused by intervertebral disc pathology at a spinal level whose primary neurological impact is on the upper extremities — typically the cervical spine.
Narrowing of the neural canal in the rib cage region caused by intervertebral disc pathology, classified under biomechanical lesions (M99) rather than disc displacement or degeneration categories.
Intervertebral disc stenosis of the neural canal affecting the abdominal region or other regions not captured by more anatomically specific M99.5x codes.
