Osteolysis, unspecified lower leg

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

What This Code Means

A condition where bone tissue gradually dissolves or disappears in the lower leg, affecting the shin bone or calf bone area.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies lower leg location; if specific side is documented, use M89.561 or M89.562 instead
  • •Investigate underlying cause (trauma, infection, metabolic disorder) as osteolysis is often secondary to another condition
