Calcium deposit in bursa, unspecified knee

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

What This Code Means

Calcium deposits have formed in the bursa around the knee joint, but the specific knee (right or left) is not identified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use only when the knee side is not documented; attempt to clarify laterality from imaging or clinical notes
  • •Knee bursitis is common; ensure documentation specifies which knee is affected for accurate coding
