Other spondylosis with radiculopathy, 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) causing nerve root compression and pain radiating along the rib cage or trunk.

Coding Tips

  • •Thoracic radiculopathy is less common than cervical or lumbar; ensure documentation supports this diagnosis
  • •Distinguish from myelopathy (M47.14) which involves spinal cord rather than nerve root compression
