What This Code Means

M61.431 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other calcification of muscle, right forearm. Calcium deposits have formed in the muscles of the right forearm. M61.431 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).

M61.431 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.

Verify documentation specifies right forearm to differentiate from left side.
