What This Code Means

An abnormal forward curvature of the neck region caused by a condition other than postural issues or disease-specific causes.

Coding Tips

  • •Review documentation for the specific etiology; 'other' indicates a known but non-standard cause
  • •Ensure the cervical region is clearly documented to differentiate from other spinal regions
