What This Code Means

M93.062 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), left hip. A condition where the growth plate at the top of the left thighbone slips out of place suddenly in a young person, but whether the slip is stable or unstable is not clearly documented. M93.062 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (m00-m99), within the section covering chondropathies (m91-m94).

M93.062 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

Clarify stability status in the medical record when possible, as this affects treatment decisions and prognosis.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for M93.062 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Coding Tips

  • Clarify stability status in the medical record when possible, as this affects treatment decisions and prognosis
  • Document should specify acute onset to justify use of this acute code rather than chronic codes
