Muscle wasting and atrophy, not elsewhere classified, unspecified shoulder

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

What This Code Means

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the shoulder is affected but laterality cannot be determined from documentation.
  • •Request clarification from the provider if possible to assign the appropriate lateralized code (M62.511 or M62.512).
