M93.054

Billable

Acute on chronic slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unstable (nontraumatic), bilateral hips

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 both thighbones has been slipping chronically and then suddenly worsens with acute instability on both sides.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm bilateral involvement is documented and that both sides show acute-on-chronic presentation
  • •This is a rare presentation; verify documentation supports bilateral acute-on-chronic slipping
