ICD-10 Code M02.011 – Arthropathy following intestinal bypass, right shoulder (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M02.011 – Arthropathy following intestinal bypass, right shoulder
What it is
This code identifies arthropathy, or joint disease, that occurs after an intestinal bypass procedure and affects the right shoulder. Use it when the record links the shoulder problem to the prior bypass surgery.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. Typical findings may include shoulder pain, stiffness, swelling, or reduced range of motion, with the provider documenting a post-bypass arthropathy relationship.
When to use this code
Use M02.011 when the clinician states that the right shoulder arthropathy is due to, or follows, an intestinal bypass. The chart should support both the joint involvement and the causal connection. If the laterality or postoperative relationship is unclear, check documentation before coding.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for nonspecific shoulder pain, arthritis without a documented post-bypass link, or arthropathy in another joint. If the record does not identify the right shoulder, choose the appropriate code.
Coding tip
Confirm the surgery history and the provider’s stated relationship before assigning M02.011.
