M91Juvenile osteochondrosis of hip and pelvis

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

M91 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for juvenile osteochondrosis of hip and pelvis. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • slipped upper femoral epiphysis (nontraumatic) (M93.0-)

Other codes that can never be billed with M91

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at M91. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading M91 alone.

  • M87Osteonecrosis

Risk adjustment

M91 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead M91

7 child codes. Green means billable.
