Billable

Other spondylosis with myelopathy, thoracic region

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Degenerative spine disease in the mid-back (thoracic region) that is compressing the spinal cord, causing weakness or loss of function in the limbs.

Coding Tips

  • •Myelopathy indicates spinal cord compression; ensure clinical documentation confirms cord involvement, not just nerve root compression
  • •The 4th character '1' specifies myelopathy; do not confuse with radiculopathy codes (M47.2x series)
