What This Code Means

M88.832 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for osteitis deformans of left forearm. Paget's disease of bone affecting the left forearm, causing abnormal bone remodeling in the radius and/or ulna. M88.832 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering other osteopathies (m86-m90).

M88.832 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Verify 'left' forearm is clearly documented in the medical record.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for M88.832 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.
