Other recurrent vertebral dislocation, thoracolumbar region

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

What This Code Means

A condition where the bones in the mid-to-lower back (thoracolumbar spine) repeatedly slip out of their normal position.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies 'recurrent' episodes to distinguish from single dislocation events
  • •Confirm the thoracolumbar region is documented; if multiple regions affected, code each separately
