ICD-10 Code M02.211 – Postimmunization arthropathy, right shoulder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M02.211 – Postimmunization arthropathy, right shoulder
What it is
M02.211 identifies joint inflammation in the right shoulder that occurs after immunization. Use it when the record links the arthropathy to a vaccine reaction.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include shoulder pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion after vaccination. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents postimmunization arthropathy affecting the right shoulder. It supports a direct causal relationship between the vaccine and the joint condition. Check documentation if the note only mentions shoulder pain without a postimmunization diagnosis.
Do not use for
Do not use it for routine post-vaccine soreness, unspecified shoulder pain, or arthropathy in another joint. If the cause is not documented, check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify that the right shoulder and the postimmunization cause are both documented before assigning M02.211.
