Recurrent dislocation, left elbow

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

What This Code Means

A condition where the left elbow joint repeatedly dislocates (pops out of place), usually resulting from previous trauma or structural joint problems.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm left side is documented in the medical record to justify the '2' laterality indicator
  • •Consider if patient has associated ligament damage or requires surgical intervention, which may affect treatment planning
