About S73.04
S73.04 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for central subluxation and dislocation of hip. It belongs to category S73 (dislocation and sprain of joint and ligaments of hip), block S70-S79 (injuries to the hip and thigh) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.
Within S73.0 (subluxation and dislocation of hip), S73.04 is specifically for central subluxation and dislocation of hip. Related codes cover unspecified subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.00), posterior subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.01), obturator subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.02) and other anterior subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.03).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2018 (title revised).
