M25.749

Billable

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

What This Code Means

Bone spurs in the hand when the specific side is not identified or when both hands are affected.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a less specific code; query provider for laterality when possible to use M25.741 or M25.742
  • •If bilateral hand osteophytes are present, code both sides separately rather than using the unspecified code
