Loose body in right finger joint(s)

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

What This Code Means

A small piece of bone or cartilage has become detached and is floating loose inside one or more joints of the right hand fingers.

Coding Tips

•This code applies to any finger joint on the right hand; if multiple fingers are affected, use this single code rather than coding each finger separately
•Document which specific finger(s) are affected in the medical record for clinical clarity, even though the ICD-10 code does not differentiate
