Fracture of one rib associated with chest compression and cardiopulmonary resuscitation

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A broken rib that results from chest compressions performed during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

Coding Tips

  • •Specify which rib is fractured if documentation indicates a single rib involvement
  • •Ensure documentation clearly links the rib fracture to CPR intervention rather than trauma
