Hip Injuries and Disorders
Your hip is the joint where your femur (thigh bone) meets your pelvis (hip bone). There are two main parts: a ball at the end of the femur, which fits in a socket in the pelvis. Your hip is known as a ball-and-socket joint. This is because you have a ball at the end of your femur, and it fits into a socket in your pelvis.

Questions About M14.851Overview
Is M14.851 a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report arthropathies in other specified diseases classified elsewhere, right hip on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What MS-DRG does M14.851 group to?
On inpatient claims, arthropathies in other specified diseases classified elsewhere, right hip maps to MS-DRG 554, 553, with relative weights from 0.8328 to 1.2492 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Can M14.851 be a principal diagnosis?
No. This is a manifestation code: arthropathies in other specified diseases classified elsewhere, right hip describes the manifestation of an underlying disease rather than the disease itself, so the underlying condition is sequenced first.
Can M14.851 be reported with M36.4?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at M14, which applies to M14.851, lists "hypersensitivity reactions (M36.4)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
What is coded first with M14.851?
The Code First note at M14.8, which applies to M14.851, reads: underlying disease, such as: amyloidosis (E85.-); erythema multiforme (L51.-); erythema nodosum (L52); hemochromatosis (E83.11-); hyperparathyroidism (E21.-); and 4 more listed in the Instructional Notes section. When one of these applies, it is sequenced before M14.851.
