Billable

Congenital lordosis, sacral and sacrococcygeal region

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

What This Code Means

A birth defect where the spine curves abnormally backward (lordosis) in the sacral and sacrococcygeal region (base of spine and tailbone area).

Coding Tips

  • •This is a less common site for congenital lordosis; verify documentation clearly specifies sacral/sacrococcygeal involvement
  • •May be associated with other sacral anomalies such as sacral agenesis
