Other specified disorders of tendon, right hip

This code signifies a non-traumatic, non-inflammatory condition affecting a tendon in the right hip that is not specifically classified elsewhere. This could include various degenerative changes, calcifications, or other structural abnormalities of the hip tendons. It excludes conditions like tendinitis, tenosynovitis, or rupture.

Use this code when documentation specifies a "disorder of tendon, right hip" that doesn't fit a more specific ICD-10-CM code (e.g., calcific tendinopathy, degenerative tendinosis) and is not inflammatory or traumatic in origin. Supporting documentation should clearly indicate the specific hip and the nature of the tendon disorder, ruling out more precise diagnoses.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "right hip" and not a bilateral or unspecified hip involvement.
• Differentiate from M76.0- (Gluteal tendinitis) or M76.1- (Psoas tendinitis), which are more specific.
• Always review for a more precise code within the M65-M67 range before defaulting to this "other specified" code.
