What This Code Means
M50.220 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other cervical disc displacement, mid-cervical region, unspecified level. A displaced or shifted disc in the middle neck region, but the exact level (C4-C5 or C5-C6) is not specified in the medical record. M50.220 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering other dorsopathies (m50-m54).
M50.220 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
This is an unspecified mid-cervical code; query the provider for the specific level if possible.
