A 70-year-old female patient presents with a complaint of left knee pain with weight bearing activities. She is also developing pain at rest. She denies any recent injury. There is pain with stair climbing and start up pain. AP, lateral and sunrise views of the left knee are ordered and interpreted. The diagnosis is left knee pain secondary to underlying primary degenerative arthritis. What ICD-10-CM code(s) is/are reported?
M17.12
Response Feedback:
Rationale: The scenario is reported with one ICD-10-CM code. In the ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index look for Arthritis, arthritic/degenerative, which directs you to see Osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis/primary/knee directing you to M17.1. A 4th character is required to report the laterality. Report code M17.12 for left knee. You do not report the ICD-10-CM code for knee pain as this is a symptom of the degenerative arthritis and is not reported separately.
