Billable

Chronic slipped upper femoral epiphysis, stable (nontraumatic), right hip

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

What This Code Means

A long-standing slipping of the growth plate at the top of the right thighbone in an adolescent, where the bone head remains stable in its socket.

Coding Tips

  • •Chronic SUFE is typically diagnosed when symptoms have been present for weeks to months; verify timeline in clinical documentation
  • •Ensure right hip laterality is clearly documented; if bilateral, use M93.024 instead
