Other specified bursopathies, unspecified hip

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

What This Code Means

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the specific hip side is not documented; if laterality is known, use M71.851 (right) or M71.852 (left)
  • •Verify the clinical documentation specifies a bursopathy condition rather than other hip joint disorders
