M62.3
BillableImmobility syndrome (paraplegic)
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition of muscle weakness and stiffness that develops from prolonged immobility, often seen in people with paralysis.
Coding Tips
- •Verify that immobility syndrome is documented; this is often secondary to spinal cord injury or other paralyzing conditions
- •Code the underlying cause (such as paraplegia) separately if documented
