ICD-10 Code M02.152 – Postdysenteric arthropathy, left hip (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M02.152 – Postdysenteric arthropathy, left hip
What it is
M02.152 identifies postdysenteric arthropathy affecting the left hip. Use it when the chart documents a reactive joint problem that follows dysentery and is limited to the left hip.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include hip pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion after a recent or prior dysenteric infection. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider clearly links the left hip arthropathy to postdysenteric disease. It is appropriate when the record specifies the left hip as the involved joint and does not describe a different arthropathy cause. If the laterality or infectious trigger is unclear, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for nonspecific hip pain, osteoarthritis, or arthropathy not tied to dysentery. Also avoid this code if the affected site is not the left hip.
Coding tip
Confirm both the postdysenteric etiology and left-sided hip involvement before assigning M02.152.
