M24.471
BillableRecurrent dislocation, right ankle
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the right ankle joint repeatedly dislocates (comes out of joint) on its own, often due to ligament damage or previous sprains.
Coding Tips
- •Verify right ankle is documented; recurrent ankle dislocation is less common than recurrent sprains
- •Determine if this involves the talocrural joint or subtalar joint for complete documentation
