Other spondylosis with radiculopathy, cervicothoracic region

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

What This Code Means

Degenerative spine disease at the junction between the neck and mid-back causing nerve root compression and radiating symptoms.

Coding Tips

  • •Cervicothoracic region spans C7-T1; this transitional area may cause symptoms in both upper extremity and upper back
  • •Confirm documentation specifies this region rather than purely cervical or thoracic involvement
