M90 Osteopathies in diseases classified elsewhere

100 codes under M90 in the South African Master Industry Table 2021, 90 valid for clinical use; 30 marked as a Prescribed Minimum Benefit.

Valid: the code is at its most specific level and may go on an account. Heading only: code to a more specific entry beneath it. PMB and CDL: a Prescribed Minimum Benefit or Chronic Disease List condition per the Council for Medical Schemes. † dagger and * asterisk codes are used as a pair. How to read the table

Prescribed Minimum Benefits in M90. A medical scheme must fund the diagnosis, treatment and care of a PMB condition in full, within its rules on designated providers and treatment protocols. The PMB code and treatment component beside each code come from the Council for Medical Schemes’ PMB Coded List; the scheme decides whether a given claim qualifies.
