M24.519

Billable

Contracture, unspecified shoulder

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

What This Code Means

A permanent tightening or shortening of muscles and tissues in the shoulder with unspecified laterality that limits joint movement.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when documentation does not specify right or left shoulder; query provider for laterality when possible
  • •This is a less specific code; bilateral involvement requires separate codes for each side
