The 2027 ICD-10 code updates took effect on October 1, 2026, adding 190 new codes, revising 4, and deleting 30 — with several changes that may impact your documentation and billing.
Key updates to know:
- Plantar Fasciitis & Fibromatosis: M72.2 splits into two paths — plantar fasciitis moves to new M67.A- codes, while plantar fascial fibromatosis stays under M72.2 with laterality-specific codes.
- Sternoclavicular Sprain: S23.420 and its encounter variants are deleted. Use the S43.6x family instead.
- New Respiratory Codes: Billable codes added for pulmonary mycetoma (J4B) and odontogenic sinusitis (J34.830–J34.839).
- Osteomyelitis: M86.8X becomes non-billable — use new site- and laterality-specific codes instead.
