About coding hip subluxation

The ICD-10-CM code for hip subluxation is S73.00 (Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of hip). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S73.00.

Within S73.0, choose S73.00 (Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of hip) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: posterior subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.01), obturator subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.02), other anterior subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.03) and central subluxation and dislocation of hip (S73.04).

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 hasn't changed since.
