K41.11

Billable

Bilateral femoral hernia, with 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 groin (femoral hernia) where tissue has died due to loss of blood supply, and this is a repeat occurrence.

Coding Tips

  • •The '11' suffix indicates bilateral with gangrene and recurrent status; document previous hernia repair attempts
  • •Recurrent hernias with gangrene carry higher surgical risk and may require more complex repair techniques
