M93.074
BillableAcute on chronic 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 both hips have chronic slips with new acute slips occurring on top of them. This bilateral presentation represents a worsening of long-standing conditions in both hips.
Coding Tips
- •The '074' ending specifically indicates bilateral hip involvement; do not use this code if only one hip is affected
- •Document the timeline of when each slip occurred to support the 'acute on chronic' classification
