M93.064
BillableAcute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (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 upper thighbone slips out of place at the growth plate in both hips, occurring suddenly without injury. This bilateral presentation is a serious condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Coding Tips
- •The '064' ending specifically indicates bilateral hip involvement; do not use this code if only one hip is affected
- •Document whether the slips occurred simultaneously or at different times, as this may affect clinical management and coding specificity
