Articular disc disorder of right temporomandibular joint

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

What This Code Means

A problem with the cartilage disc in the right jaw joint, which may slip out of place or become damaged, causing pain and dysfunction.

Coding Tips

  • •Articular disc disorder is more specific than simple arthralgia; ensure documentation describes disc displacement, derangement, or dysfunction
  • •Confirm right-sided involvement in documentation before assigning this laterality-specific code
