Billable

Other spondylosis with radiculopathy, lumbosacral 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 lower back and sacrum area with nerve pain radiating down the leg.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies radiculopathy (nerve root pain) rather than just myelopathy to use this code
  • •Confirm the lumbosacral region is documented; if pain extends only to lumbar, use M47.26 instead
