- Non-Billable On/After Oct 1/2015
- ICD-9-CM 710.9 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 710.9 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.

Clinical Information
- A term previously used to describe chronic diseases of the connective tissue (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and systemic sclerosis), but now is thought to be more appropriate for diseases associated with defects in collagen, which is a component of the connective tissue
- Inflammatory and degenerative diseases of connective tissue structures, such as arthritis
- Pertains to those conditions in which the primary defect is at the gene level and affects collagen biosynthesis, post-translational modification, or extracellular processing directly
