Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal of sacral region

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

What This Code Means

Narrowing of the nerve channel at the base of the spine caused by a bulging or degenerating sacral disc, which may cause lower back pain or symptoms in the buttocks and legs.

Coding Tips

  • •Sacral stenosis is less common; verify documentation clearly indicates sacral region involvement
  • •Distinguish from coccygeal or other lower spine pathology
