Superficial endometriosis of unspecified ureter

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

What This Code Means

Endometrial tissue grows in a shallow layer on a ureter, but the specific side (right, left, or bilateral) is not documented or specified.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when ureter involvement is confirmed but laterality cannot be determined from documentation
  • •Query the provider if possible to obtain specific laterality information for more precise coding
