Osseous and subluxation stenosis of intervertebral foramina of head region

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

What This Code Means

Narrowing of the small openings between vertebrae in the head/neck area caused by bone overgrowth or vertebral misalignment, compressing nerves.

Coding Tips

  • •Distinguish between osseous stenosis (bone-related) and subluxation (misalignment) components
  • •Head region codes are rarely used; verify this is not cervical region (M99.61)
