Costochondritis ICD-10-CM Codes

Yes, it is a billable code.

Use ICD-10 code M94.0 when diagnosing Tietze's syndrome or costochondritis with visible swelling. This indicates inflammation at the chondrocostal junction (where the ribs meet the sternum) causing localized chest wall pain and tenderness.

Common treatments for costochondritis include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), physical therapy, and activity modification to reduce strain on the affected area. In more severe cases, corticosteroid injections or local anesthetic may be administered for pain management and inflammation control.
