October 20, 2026

Effective October 1, 2026, the ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes used to report plantar fasciitis have changed. The familiar diagnosis code M72.2 is no longer valid for billing purposes for dates of service beginning October 1, 2026, and has been replaced by more specific diagnosis codes.

This change also has an important impact on MIPS quality reporting for podiatrists participating in the Heel Pain Treatment Outcomes for Adults measure (REGCLR1).
