About M93.062

M93.062 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), left hip. It belongs to category M93 (other osteochondropathies), block M91-M94 (Chondropathies) and chapter 13 (diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within M93.06 (acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic)), M93.062 is specifically for acute slipped upper femoral epiphysis, unspecified stability (nontraumatic), left hip. Related codes cover right hip (M93.061), unspecified hip (M93.063) and bilateral hips (M93.064).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 553 (Bone Diseases and Arthropathies with MCC, relative weight 1.2494) and DRG 554 (Bone Diseases and Arthropathies without MCC, relative weight 0.8331), in MDC 08 (Diseases and Disorders of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It was added in FY2023, effective October 1, 2022.
