2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M02.30 – Reiter’s disease, unspecified site

What it is

M02.30 identifies Reiter’s disease, also called reactive arthritis, when the affected site is not specified in the record. Use it for a documented diagnosis without a more precise joint or site detail.

Clinical signs

Typical findings include joint pain, swelling, and stiffness after an infection, often with asymmetric lower-limb involvement. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.

When to use this code

Use M02.30 when the provider documents Reiter’s disease or reactive arthritis but does not identify the involved site. It is also appropriate when the note confirms the diagnosis and the location remains unspecified after review. If the record names a specific joint or site, code that detail instead.

Do not use for

Do not use this code for arthritis with a clearly documented specific site or for other inflammatory arthritides. Check documentation if the note describes a different postinfectious or autoimmune joint condition.

Coding tip

Always look for the exact site in the assessment, imaging, or problem list before choosing the unspecified code.
