Pressure-induced deep tissue damage of unspecified hip

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

What This Code Means

Deep tissue damage caused by prolonged pressure on the hip area, where the skin surface may appear intact but underlying tissue is severely damaged.

Coding Tips

  • This code indicates deep tissue injury without full-thickness skin loss; document the extent of tissue damage in clinical notes
  • Do not use this code if there is a documented pressure ulcer stage 1-4; deep tissue damage is a distinct category
