M71.551

Billable

Other bursitis, not elsewhere classified, right hip

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

What This Code Means

Inflammation of a fluid-filled sac (bursa) in the right hip that is not classified elsewhere, causing pain and swelling.

Coding Tips

  • •Ensure documentation clearly indicates right hip rather than left or bilateral involvement
  • •Distinguish from other hip conditions like trochanteric bursitis if a more specific diagnosis is documented
