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 hip caused by crystal deposits (such as calcium pyrophosphate or other mineral crystals) that are not gout or pseudogout, leading to hip pain and inflammation.
Coding Tips
- •Ensure the diagnosis specifies the hip joint and not another location in the right lower extremity
- •Document the crystal type if identified to support the clinical diagnosis and justify treatment
