Other forms of scoliosis, thoracolumbar region

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

What This Code Means

An abnormal curvature of the spine affecting both the mid-back and lower back junction (thoracolumbar region) that is not typical idiopathic scoliosis.

Coding Tips

  • •This code spans two regions; confirm documentation specifies thoracolumbar involvement rather than isolated thoracic or lumbar
  • •Consider if this is secondary scoliosis requiring an additional etiology code
