Other specified crystal arthropathies, unspecified hip

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

What This Code Means

A joint condition caused by crystal deposits in the hip joint, where the specific type of crystal is not further specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code when crystal arthropathy affects the hip but the crystal type (gout, pseudogout, etc.) is not documented
  • •Verify laterality is truly unspecified; if right or left hip is documented, use M11.851 or M11.852 instead
