Hi, can someone please help me , WHAT ICD 10 CODE DO I USE FOR BICEP TENDON TEAR , ESPECIALLY WHEN THE REPORT SAY THAT THE TEAR IS DEGENERATIVE , WHEN I LOOK UP THE CODE IT TAKES ME TO SPONTANEOUS , THAT DOES NOT SEEM APPROPRIATE
 
I agree with Mayzoo.

The ICD-10 book takes you on a slight wild goose chase but if you bare with it you'll get your code.

Look under "Tear" then "Tendon-See Strain".
Look under "Strain" then "Tendon - See Injury, Muscle, by site, Strain".
Look under "Injury, Muscle (and tendon), Biceps, Strain" and it tells you to see "S46.21__".
