ICD-10-CM Code For Other Bursopathies: Group Overview
The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) code group M71 includes bursitis and other bursopathies such as pyogenic bursitis, olecranon bursitis, prepatellar bursitis, and other specified and unspecified bursopathies that affect periarticular bursae. These ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes are used to document acute or chronic inflammation, infective involvement, and sequelae of bursae to capture site-specific and etiology-specific clinical detail. Accurate coding within the ICD-10-CM M71 group supports proper claim adjudication, complete clinical documentation, and appropriate reimbursement.
