Arthropathies in oth diseases classd elswhr, right hip

This code signifies an arthropathy affecting the right hip that is a manifestation of another underlying systemic disease. It indicates joint involvement secondary to a primary condition classified elsewhere, rather than a primary hip joint disorder.

Use this code when documentation clearly links right hip joint pain, swelling, or dysfunction to a systemic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or inflammatory bowel disease. The underlying systemic disease should be coded first, followed by this code to specify the hip involvement.

• Always sequence the underlying systemic disease code first, as this code is for a manifestation.
• Ensure documentation specifies "right hip" and the causal link to another disease.
• Do not use for primary osteoarthritis or other non-systemic hip conditions.
