Separation of muscle (nontraumatic), right lower leg

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

What This Code Means

A spontaneous separation or tearing of muscle fibers in the right lower leg that occurs without trauma or injury.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure documentation confirms nontraumatic etiology to avoid miscoding traumatic ruptures
  • •Verify right lower leg is the correct anatomical site; lower leg extends from knee to ankle
