This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A stage 1 pressure ulcer on the hip where the skin is intact but shows redness or discoloration that does not blanch (turn white) when pressed.
Coding Tips
- •Stage 1 is the earliest stage with intact skin; document the area of erythema and whether it blanches or non-blanches
- •Clarify laterality (left or right hip) in documentation to allow assignment of more specific codes if needed
