What This Code Means

M62.062 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for separation of muscle (nontraumatic), left lower leg. A spontaneous separation or tearing of muscle fibers in the left lower leg that occurs without trauma or injury. M62.062 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).

M62.062 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.

Document should clearly indicate left side to justify this specific code.
