Chronic slipped upper femoral epiphysis, stable (nontraumatic), left 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 left thighbone in an adolescent, where the bone head remains stable in its socket.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm left hip laterality is explicitly documented in the medical record before coding
  • •Distinguish between chronic presentation and acute-on-chronic by reviewing onset and progression timeline
