Other chondrocalcinosis, unspecified wrist

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

What This Code Means

Calcium crystal deposits in the wrist joint cartilage when the specific wrist is not identified. This condition causes inflammation and joint stiffness.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when documentation does not specify right or left wrist; query provider if laterality is documented elsewhere
  • •Verify this is 'other chondrocalcinosis' and not pseudogout (M11.1x) or primary chondrocalcinosis (M11.0x)
