What This Code Means
M61.176 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for myositis ossificans progressiva, unspecified foot. A rare genetic condition where muscle tissue gradually turns into bone in the foot area, but the specific side (left or right) is not documented. M61.176 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).
M61.176 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.
Use this code only when laterality cannot be determined from documentation.
