Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICD-10 code for other specified alveolar anomalies?
The ICD-10-CM code for other specified alveolar anomalies is M26.79. The full clinical description is "Other specified alveolar anomalies". M26.79 is a billable/specific code that can be used on insurance claims and medical billing.
What does ICD-10 code M26.79 mean?
ICD-10-CM code M26.79 represents “Other specified alveolar anomalies”. It is classified under Chapter 13: Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue and is a billable/specific code that can be used on a claim.
Is M26.79 a billable code?
Yes, M26.79 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code and can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a medical claim.
What chapter is M26.79 in?

What codes cannot be used with M26.79?
M26.79 has Excludes1 notes indicating codes that cannot be used together with it, including: hemifacial atrophy or hypertrophy (Q67.4); unilateral condylar hyperplasia or hypoplasia (M27.8).
What SNOMED CT codes does M26.79 map to?
M26.79 maps to 68 SNOMED CT concepts: 109711006, 109706009, 109708005, 109707000, 769159002, and 63 more. SNOMED CT is a clinical terminology used in electronic health records.
What are the UMLS CUIs for M26.79?
M26.79 is linked to 1 UMLS Concept Unique Identifier: C0859118. The UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) integrates multiple biomedical vocabularies maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
How does M26.79 relate to ICF functioning codes?
ICF (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health) codes describe how conditions like other specified alveolar anomalies affect a person's functioning — body functions, activities, participation, and environmental factors. AutoICD provides ICF Core Sets for 12+ conditions and can map clinical text to ICF categories automatically. Browse the ICF directory to explore functioning codes.
What is the ICD-11 equivalent of M26.79?
There is no direct ICD-11 mapping available for M26.79 in the WHO crosswalk tables. This may mean the concept is classified differently in ICD-11. Use the ICD-10 to ICD-11 converter to search for related codes.
