M11.831
BillableOther specified crystal arthropathies, right wrist
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A joint condition in the right wrist caused by crystal deposits (such as calcium pyrophosphate or other mineral crystals) that are not gout or pseudogout, causing inflammation and discomfort.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm the crystal type is documented to ensure this 'other specified' code is appropriate rather than a more specific crystal arthropathy code
- •Verify right wrist is the correct anatomical site as documented in the clinical record
