K41.21

Billable

Bilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or 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) without any blockage or tissue death, and this is a repeat occurrence.

Coding Tips

  • •The '21' suffix indicates bilateral without obstruction or gangrene but recurrent; verify previous repair dates and methods
  • •Recurrent bilateral hernias may indicate inadequate initial repair or patient risk factors for hernia formation
