What This Code Means
M61.232 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for paralytic calcification and ossification of muscle, left forearm. Abnormal calcium deposits and bone formation in the muscles of the left forearm, typically occurring after paralysis or severe injury. M61.232 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).
M61.232 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.
