Contracture, unspecified foot

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 foot that limits movement, without specification of which foot.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the foot is not specified as right or left; if laterality is documented, use M24.574 (right) or M24.575 (left).
  • •This is a less specific code; attempt to determine laterality from clinical documentation.
