M93.071
BillableAcute on chronic slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), right 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 in the right hip has both a chronic slip and a new acute slip occurring on top of it. This represents a worsening of a long-standing condition.
Coding Tips
- •The '07' prefix indicates 'acute on chronic' presentation; ensure documentation clearly shows evidence of both chronic and acute components
- •The '1' ending specifies right hip; verify laterality in documentation before assigning this code
