Articular disc disorder of bilateral temporomandibular joint

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

What This Code Means

Problems with the cartilage discs in both jaw joints, where the discs may slip out of place or become damaged on both sides.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifies bilateral involvement; do not use if only one side is affected
  • •Ensure documentation specifically describes disc pathology rather than simple joint pain or ankylosis
