Unspecified disorder of synovium and tendon, unspecified hand

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

What This Code Means

An unspecified problem affecting the tissue lining joints or tendons in the hand when the side (left or right) is not specified.

Coding Tips

  • •This code should only be used when the provider does not specify which hand is affected; always attempt to obtain laterality information
  • •If documentation indicates bilateral involvement, code both M67.941 and M67.942 instead of using this unspecified code
