Spontaneous rupture of other tendons, unspecified hand

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

What This Code Means

A tendon in the hand suddenly tears or breaks on its own, but which hand (left or right) is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a less specific code; attempt to clarify laterality with the provider when possible
  • •Use only when the medical record does not indicate which hand is affected
