BillableRupture of synovium, unspecified hip
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A tear or rupture of the synovium (joint lining) in the hip joint when the specific side (left or right) is not documented.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when laterality cannot be determined from documentation; attempt to clarify with the provider if possible
- •This is a less specific code; bilateral involvement would require separate codes for each side
