Convert 728.85 to ICD-10
The following crosswalk between ICD-9 to ICD-10 is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
M62.40 - Contracture of muscle, unspecified site
M62.40 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of contracture of muscle, unspecified site. The code M62.40 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
The ICD-10-CM code M62.40 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like abnormally increased muscle contraction, contracture of muscle following injury, contracture of tendon sheath, deformity after injury, extension contracture of muscle , flexion contracture of muscle, etc.
Unspecified diagnosis codes like M62.40 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
