Billable

Lesion of lateral popliteal nerve, bilateral lower limbs

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

What This Code Means

Damage or injury to the lateral popliteal nerve affecting both legs, causing weakness or numbness in both lower legs and feet.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral involvement is explicitly documented; do not assume both sides are affected
  • •Consider whether this represents a systemic condition or separate injuries to each side
