Other specified bursopathies, right hip

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 hip joint, causing inflammation or other problems not specified elsewhere.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish between hip bursopathy and other hip conditions like osteoarthritis or labral tears; bursopathy specifically involves the bursa
  • •Confirm right hip laterality is documented; hip conditions are common and laterality must be clear
