What CMS assigns to M99
90 of the 91 codes group to Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation; 1 is assigned no clinical group. None of the 91 is assigned a comorbidity subgroup. 90 of the 91 can lead a claim.
Every code in M99
Descriptions are CDC’s FY2027 wording; where CMS’s grouper abbreviates one, its form is shown beneath.
