This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A sudden worsening of 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
- •Document both the chronic baseline condition and the acute event that prompted current visit to justify acute-on-chronic coding
- •Confirm left hip laterality is documented; if bilateral acute-on-chronic, use M93.034
