BillableAcute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, stable (nontraumatic), bilateral hips
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A sudden slipping of the growth plate at the top of the thighbone in an adolescent occurring on both sides, where the bone heads remain stable in their sockets.
Coding Tips
- •This code requires documentation of bilateral involvement; if only one side is affected, use the unilateral codes instead
- •Bilateral SUFE is less common than unilateral; ensure documentation clearly supports both-sided involvement before assigning this code
