Arthritis Unspecified ICD-10-CM Codes

To give you an idea, about 50 million adult Americans and 300,000 American children have Arthritis.

The biggest risk factor is age, which can’t be controlled. The older you get, the more at risk you are of getting it. Your sex can also affect it; women are more at risk of developing Arthritis than men.

Two other factors can put a person at risk of developing it, and luckily, these factors can be controlled. These include lifestyle choices, and obesity, among others.

That depends on what type of Arthritis they’re treating and how severe it is. Basic treatment includes administering anti-inflammatory medicine and biologics, injection of cortisone or viscosupplementation, and recommending or conducting physical therapy programs. Joint fusion or replacements become an option only for severe cases.
