Intervertebral disc stenosis of neural canal of pelvic region

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

What This Code Means

Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back/pelvic area caused by a bulging or herniated disc, which can compress nerves.

Coding Tips

  • •Verify documentation specifies the pelvic region location to distinguish from other lumbar stenosis codes
  • •Confirm whether this is due to disc herniation versus other causes of stenosis
