M25.669

Billable

Stiffness of unspecified knee, 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 knee joint when the specific side is not documented or is bilateral.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when laterality cannot be determined from the medical record
  • •Code both M25.661 and M25.662 if both knees are affected rather than using this unspecified code
