Aggressive periodontitis, generalized, severe

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

What This Code Means

A severe form of aggressive gum disease affecting multiple teeth throughout the mouth, characterized by rapid destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth.

Coding Tips

  • •Aggressive periodontitis is typically diagnosed in younger patients and progresses faster than chronic forms; ensure clinical documentation supports the 'aggressive' designation
  • •The '223' suffix indicates generalized (affecting multiple areas) and severe (significant tissue loss); verify severity level is documented before coding
