Every October 1st brings additions and deletions to the ICD10 codes and although these are 2022 codes the effective date is October 1, 2021.
There are now 72,748 ICD10 diagnosis codes, and this year there were 159 new codes added, 32 codes deleted, and 20 codes revised.
The code for back pain M54.5 will be deleted with the addition of 3 codes to replace it.
M54.50 Low back pain, unspecified
M54.51 Vertebrogenic low back pain
M54.59 Other low back pain
There are also new codes for non-radiographic spondyloarthritis for all levels of the spine.
Remember, for any dates of service on or after 10-1-2021 the new codes must be used and HJ Ross Network has a list of the complete code updates.
