Valgus deformity, not elsewhere classified, left hip

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

What This Code Means

An abnormal outward bending or angling of the left hip joint, where the limb deviates away from the body's midline.

Coding Tips

•Verify laterality is documented as left hip in the medical record before assigning this code
•Ensure the valgus deformity is not related to a more specific condition (e.g., hip dysplasia, post-traumatic) which would require a different code
