Billable

Bilateral femoral hernia, with obstruction, without gangrene, recurrent

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

What This Code Means

A hernia on both sides of the upper thigh where tissue pushes through and becomes trapped or blocked, without tissue death, that has occurred previously and is happening again.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral femoral hernia involvement; this is relatively rare
  • •Document both obstruction and recurrent status; these patients typically require surgical intervention
