Other recurrent vertebral dislocation, thoracic region

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

What This Code Means

A condition where vertebrae in the thoracic spine (mid-back) repeatedly slip out of alignment.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm the dislocation is in the thoracic region and not cervical or lumbar; verify specific vertebral levels if documented
  • •Document whether recurrent dislocations are causing pain, instability, or functional impairment
