Stiffness of unspecified hip, not elsewhere classified

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

What This Code Means

Stiffness or reduced movement in the hip joint when the specific side (left or right) is not documented or is bilateral.

Coding Tips

•This is a less specific code; attempt to determine laterality from clinical documentation before using this code
•If both hips are affected, code both M25.651 and M25.652 rather than using the unspecified code
