What This Code Means
M23.612 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other spontaneous disruption of anterior cruciate ligament of left knee. A tear or rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the left knee that occurs suddenly without a major injury. M23.612 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering other joint disorders (m20-m25).
M23.612 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
