What CMS assigns to M10
81 of the 121 codes group to Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation; 40 are assigned no clinical group. 1 of the 121 counts toward the Obesity, and Disorders of Metabolism and Fluid Balance comorbidity subgroup; 120 are assigned none. 81 of the 121 can lead a claim. CMS attaches a code-first note to 72 of the 121.
- Obesity, and Disorders of Metabolism and Fluid Balance: counts toward the high comorbidity tier only in an interaction pair.
