M71.852

Billable

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

Coding Tips

  • Verify left hip is specifically documented to justify the 2 suffix; review for any mention of right hip or bilateral involvement
  • Consider documenting which bursa is affected (e.g., trochanteric, ischial, iliopsoas) if available, as this supports clinical specificity
