M99.65
BillableOsseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina of pelvic region
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Narrowing of the nerve passages in the spine due to bone overgrowth or misalignment in the pelvic region, which can cause pain or nerve compression.
Coding Tips
- •This code specifically addresses osseous (bone) and subluxation stenosis, so document whether bone spurs, facet joint changes, or vertebral misalignment is present
- •Ensure the condition is documented as affecting the pelvic region to distinguish from other spinal levels
