Arthralgia of bilateral temporomandibular joint

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

What This Code Means

Pain in both jaw joints (temporomandibular joints) that may worsen with chewing or jaw movement.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifies bilateral involvement; do not use if only one side is affected
  • •Arthralgia indicates joint pain without structural damage; ensure documentation does not describe disc displacement or ankylosis
