M60.261
BillableForeign body granuloma of soft tissue, not elsewhere classified, right lower leg
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
An inflammatory reaction in the soft tissues of the right lower leg caused by a foreign object that the body has walled off, forming a granuloma or nodule.
Coding Tips
- •Verify documentation specifies right lower leg location; if laterality is unclear, use M60.269 instead
- •Ensure the foreign body has been identified and documented; this code indicates a granulomatous response rather than acute foreign body presence
