ICD-10 Code M00.211 – Other streptococcal arthritis, right shoulder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M00.211 – Other streptococcal arthritis, right shoulder
What it is
This code identifies a streptococcal infection causing arthritis in the right shoulder joint. Use it when documentation specifies streptococcal arthritis and the affected site is the right shoulder.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include a painful, swollen, warm shoulder with reduced range of motion. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for organism confirmation and joint involvement.
When to use this code
Use M00.211 when the record clearly states other streptococcal arthritis involving the right shoulder. It fits confirmed infectious arthritis due to streptococcal species when the provider names the shoulder as the affected joint. If the organism or laterality is not documented, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for noninfectious arthritis, unspecified septic arthritis, or streptococcal infection without joint involvement. Do not assign it if the right shoulder is not documented.
Coding tip
Verify both the streptococcal cause and right-shoulder laterality in the provider note before assigning M00.211.
