Other soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure, unspecified forearm

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

What This Code Means

Soft tissue damage in the forearm caused by repetitive use, overuse, or pressure, but the specific side (right or left) is not documented or specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when laterality cannot be determined from the medical record; if possible, query the provider to specify right or left forearm
  • •This is a less specific code; strive to use M70.831 or M70.832 when laterality information is available
