Other specified bursopathies, right wrist

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

What This Code Means

A condition affecting the fluid-filled sacs (bursae) around the right wrist joint, causing inflammation or other problems not specified elsewhere.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish between bursopathy and other wrist conditions like tenosynovitis; bursopathy specifically involves the bursa sacs
  • •Confirm right wrist laterality is documented; if the documentation mentions 'wrist' without side specification, query for clarification
