What This Code Means
M60.029 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for infective myositis, unspecified upper arm. An infection in the muscle tissue of the upper arm, with the specific arm (right or left) not identified. M60.029 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering disorders of muscles (m60-m63).
M60.029 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.
