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 right thighbone slips out of place suddenly in a young person, but whether the slip is stable or unstable is not clearly documented.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when stability status cannot be determined; attempt to clarify with clinical documentation or provider query
- •This is a less specific code; prefer M93.04x (unstable) or other specific stability codes when information is available
