M72.0
BillablePalmar fascial fibromatosis [Dupuytren]
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where fibrous tissue thickens and contracts in the palm of the hand, causing fingers to bend inward and limiting hand function. This is also known as Dupuytren's contracture.
Coding Tips
- •Specify laterality (right, left, or bilateral) when documenting; M72.0 is the unspecified version
- •Document stage of disease if known (early nodule formation vs. advanced contracture) for clinical clarity
