Rheu arthritis w rheu factor of left hip w/o org/sys involv

Rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid factor of left hip without organ or systems involvement

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies seropositive rheumatoid arthritis affecting the left hip joint, where the patient tests positive for rheumatoid factor. It specifically indicates that there are no systemic complications or involvement of other organs or body systems due to the rheumatoid arthritis.

🎯When to Use

Use this code for patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis confirmed by a positive rheumatoid factor test, presenting with inflammatory arthritis symptoms localized to the left hip. Documentation should clearly state "seropositive," "rheumatoid factor positive," or similar, and explicitly exclude any extra-articular manifestations or organ involvement.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure documentation specifies "left hip" and confirms the presence of rheumatoid factor.
Do not use this code if there is any mention of organ involvement (e.g., lung, heart, kidney); a more specific code from M05.7- will be required.
Verify laterality carefully; codes exist for the right hip (M05.751) and unspecified hip (M05.759).
