Complete loss of teeth due to caries, unspecified class

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

What This Code Means

Complete loss of all teeth caused by tooth decay (cavities), but the severity classification level is not specified or documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the class of alveolar ridge atrophy cannot be determined from documentation
  • •Query the provider if possible to obtain the specific class (I-IV) for more precise coding
