The diagnosis of caudal cervical inflammatory spondylopathy is assigned ICD-10-CM code M46.82 and is an example of an NEC coding convention. It is used when there is not a more specific diagnosis code.

The ICD-10-CM is a system used to classify and code diagnoses, symptoms and different procedures in the USA.

A Not Elsewhere Classified (NEC) coding convention is used when there is not a more specific diagnosis code.

This type of diagnosis convention (NEC) is used when there is not a code that exactly matches with the medical record documentation.
