This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
A condition where the growth plate at the top of the thighbone slips out of place on the right side in a young person, causing instability and sudden onset of hip pain and difficulty walking.
Coding Tips
- •This code specifies acute onset, unstable type, and right hip - ensure all three components are documented in the clinical record
- •Do not use this code if there is a history of chronic slipping; use M93.05x codes instead for acute-on-chronic presentations
