M62 vs R25.2

M62 (Other disorders of muscle) compared with R25.2 (Cramp and spasm), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.

Can these codes be reported together?

No — do not report together. M62 carries an Excludes1 note covering R25.2: “cramp and spasm (R25.2)”

Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
