Pseudohypoparathyroidism

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A genetic disorder where the body's tissues do not respond properly to parathyroid hormone, resulting in low calcium and high phosphate levels despite normal or elevated hormone levels.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a genetic condition; document family history when available to support the diagnosis
  • •Distinguish from true hypoparathyroidism by noting that PTH levels are normal or elevated, not low
