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 mid-back vertebrae caused by bone overgrowth or vertebral misalignment, potentially affecting nerves in the thoracic region.
Coding Tips
- •Thoracic foraminal stenosis is less common; ensure documentation clearly indicates thoracic location
- •Note any associated rib pain or thoracic radiculopathy symptoms
