I've posted this question before but never really got an answer.... What Dx code can I use for Bicep tendonitis, I have been told to use 726.10 or 726.12 but this is for "tenosynovitis" of biceps so I'm leaning more towards 726.10

Thanks
 
Thanks but I'm still not sure because I posted this in the orthopedics forums well and got responses stating to use 726.12. Do you have any official resources stating to use 726.10?
 
Biceps tendinitis 726.12

Hi, even i had a confusion about the same. I was searching yesterday to find out the accurate answers but most of the searches dont give clear explanation, also we use 726.10 in our office here.

Today i found a resource regarding this and the code726.12 is supported for BICEPS TENDONITIS.The link is http://eorif.com/Shoulderarm/Biceps tendonitis.html

Synonyms: biceps tenosynovitis, biceps tendinosis, long head of biceps tendonitis
Biceps Tendonitis ICD-9
726.12(bicipital tenosynovitis).
I hope this would help you.
