Acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), left hip

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 left thighbone slips out of place suddenly in a young person, but whether the slip is stable or unstable is not clearly documented.

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
