Bursitis of right shoulder

This code identifies inflammation of the bursa located in the right shoulder joint. Bursitis is characterized by pain, swelling, and restricted range of motion due to irritation of this fluid-filled sac. It often results from repetitive motion, overuse, or direct trauma.

Apply this code when documentation explicitly states bursitis affecting the right shoulder. This diagnosis is typically supported by a physical examination revealing localized tenderness, pain with movement, and sometimes imaging studies confirming bursal inflammation.

• Ensure the laterality (right shoulder) is clearly documented.
• Differentiate from other shoulder conditions like rotator cuff tendinitis (M75.3-) or impingement syndrome (M75.4-).
• Code any associated trauma or underlying systemic conditions if applicable and documented.
