Hi fellow coders
wondering how would you code dx for lumbar facet dysfuction. I am looking @ 739.3, any takers?

Thanks in advance

Paula
 
I use dx code 739.3 for lumbar dysfunction.

You can see the ICD Annotations for 'nonallopathic lesion' as "Disability, loss of function or abnormality of a body part that is neither classifiable to a particular system nor brought about therapeutically to counteract another disease."

Any other suggestions...
