What This Code Means
M50.923 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified cervical disc disorder at c6-c7 level. A problem with the disc between the sixth and seventh bones in the neck where the specific nature of the disorder is not detailed. M50.923 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).
M50.923 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.
