Other cervical disc displacement at C6-C7 level

This code signifies a non-specified displacement of the intervertebral disc located between the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae. This displacement can lead to various neurological symptoms due to nerve root compression or localized neck pain. It differentiates from disc herniation with myelopathy or radiculopathy, representing a broader category of disc displacement.

Use this code when documentation indicates a cervical disc displacement at the C6-C7 level without specific mention of herniation, degeneration, or myelopathy/radiculopathy. This is appropriate for diagnoses such as "cervical disc displacement C6-C7" or "displaced cervical disc C6-C7" where further specificity is not provided. Supporting documentation typically includes imaging reports (MRI, CT) confirming disc displacement and physician notes detailing the location.

• Do not use this code if the documentation specifies cervical disc herniation, degeneration, or displacement with myelopathy or radiculopathy; more specific codes exist for those conditions.
• Always confirm the specific cervical level (C6-C7) as documented by the provider.
• Consider sequencing this code after any codes for acute injury if the displacement is trauma-related.
