M93.063

Billable

Acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), unspecified 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 upper thighbone slips out of place at the growth plate in a hip, occurring suddenly without injury. This is a serious condition that typically affects adolescents and requires urgent treatment.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is used when the slip is acute (sudden onset) and the stability status is not specified; verify documentation for any mention of stability classification
  • •The '063' ending indicates unspecified hip location; use M93.061 for right hip or M93.062 for left hip if laterality is documented
