Tendinitis ICD-10-CM Codes

When diagnosing a patient with inflammation or swelling in a tendon, the appropriate ICD code must be used.

Treatment often includes rest, pain medication, ice application, and physical therapy.

A diagnosis code for tendinitis provides a standardized way to identify and bill for the specific type of tendinitis being treated, such as Achilles tendinitis or rotator cuff tendinitis.
