BillableAtrophy of salivary gland
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
Shrinkage or wasting away of the salivary glands, resulting in reduced saliva production and dry mouth.
Coding Tips
- •Document whether the atrophy is unilateral or bilateral and identify which glands are affected (parotid, submandibular, sublingual)
- •Note any underlying causes such as radiation therapy, autoimmune disease, or medication side effects
