M25.452

Billable

Effusion, left hip

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

What This Code Means

Fluid accumulation in the left hip joint, which can cause swelling, stiffness, and discomfort in the hip area.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure documentation clearly specifies left hip to differentiate from right or bilateral effusion
  • •Consider if this is secondary to osteoarthritis or other joint conditions that should be coded separately
