What This Code Means

M67.911 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified disorder of synovium and tendon, right shoulder. An unspecified problem with the joint lining or tendons in the right shoulder area. M67.911 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering disorders of synovium and tendon (m65-m67).

M67.911 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.

Confirm right shoulder laterality is documented before assigning this code; do not assume laterality.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for M67.911 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Confirm right shoulder laterality is documented before assigning this code; do not assume laterality.
  • If the specific type of synovial or tendon disorder is documented, use a more specific M67 code instead.
