ICD-10 Code M02.852 – Other reactive arthropathies, left hip (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M02.852 – Other reactive arthropathies, left hip
What it is
M02.852 identifies reactive arthropathy affecting the left hip. Use it when documentation states a reactive joint condition in that hip and does not name a more specific cause.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include hip pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for the specific reactive arthropathy diagnosis and laterality.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents other reactive arthropathy in the left hip, including reactive joint inflammation after a recognized trigger. It is appropriate when the left hip is specifically identified and no more detailed code is available.
Do not use for
Do not use it for unspecified hip arthritis, traumatic hip pain, or reactive arthropathy in another joint. Check documentation if the record does not clearly confirm the left hip.
Coding tip
Verify both the reactive arthropathy diagnosis and left-sided laterality before assigning M02.852.
