Q68.6

Billable

Discoid meniscus

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

What This Code Means

A congenital condition where the meniscus (cartilage cushion) in the knee is disc-shaped rather than its normal crescent shape, which may cause knee problems.

Coding Tips

  • •Specify laterality (right or left knee) when documented
  • •This is often an incidental finding that may not cause symptoms in all patients
