Spontaneous rupture of other tendons, left shoulder

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

What This Code Means

A tendon in the left shoulder (other than flexor tendons) spontaneously tears without a major injury.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify left-sided involvement is clearly documented in the medical record
  • •Distinguish from right shoulder ruptures (M66.811) to ensure correct laterality coding
