ICD-10 Code M05.752 – Rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid factor of left hip without organ or systems involvement (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M05.752 – Rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid factor of left hip without organ or systems involvement
What it is
This code identifies rheumatoid arthritis affecting the left hip in a patient with rheumatoid factor positivity, without documented involvement of other organs or body systems. Use it when the record specifies the left hip and no extra-articular disease.
Clinical signs
Typical findings include inflammatory joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and reduced range of motion in the left hip. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation for confirmation of rheumatoid factor positivity and absence of systemic involvement.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid factor affecting only the left hip. It is appropriate when the note clearly states no organ or system involvement, such as no lung, skin, or vascular complications. Check documentation if the laterality or systemic status is unclear.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the arthritis is in a different joint, if rheumatoid factor is not documented, or if systemic manifestations are present. Check documentation when the chart does not specify laterality.
Coding tip
Verify both the left-sided joint location and the absence of organ or system involvement before assigning M05.752.
