M70.7Other bursitis of hip

M70.7 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other bursitis of hip. It belongs to category M70 (soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure), block M70-M79 (other soft tissue disorders) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within M70, choose M70.7 (Other bursitis of hip) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: Crepitant synovitis (acute) (chronic) of hand and wrist (M70.0), bursitis of hand (M70.1), olecranon bursitis (M70.2), other bursitis of elbow (M70.3), Prepatellar bursitis (M70.4), other bursitis of knee (M70.5), trochanteric bursitis (M70.6), other soft tissue disorders related to use, overuse and pressure (M70.8) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: M70.70 (unspecified hip), M70.71 (right hip) and M70.72 (left hip).

Use an additional code for: external cause code to identify activity causing disorder (Y93.-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
