Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 6 more specific codes instead:

S73.041 Central subluxation of right hip (also a header)
S73.042 Central subluxation of left hip (also a header)
S73.043 Central subluxation of unspecified hip (also a header)
S73.044 Central dislocation of right hip (also a header)
S73.045 Central dislocation of left hip (also a header)
S73.046 Central dislocation of unspecified hip (also a header)

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Central dislocation of hip
FY2018 Description revised ~~Central dislocation of hip~~ Central subluxation and dislocation of hip
