What This Code Means

A type of arthritis that causes recurring episodes of joint pain and swelling in the left hip that typically resolve completely between flare-ups.

Coding Tips

  • •Document whether symptoms are truly in the hip joint versus referred pain from the lumbar spine or sacroiliac joint
  • •The fifth character '2' indicates left side; confirm laterality is accurately documented in the medical record
