Effusion, right foot

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

What This Code Means

Fluid accumulation in the right foot joint, which can cause swelling, pain, and difficulty with foot mobility or weight-bearing.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify right foot is documented; foot effusions are less common than hip, knee, or ankle but still clinically significant
  • •Determine which specific foot joint is affected if documentation allows for greater specificity
