2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M05.152 – Rheumatoid lung disease with rheumatoid arthritis of left hip
What it is
This code identifies rheumatoid arthritis with rheumatoid lung disease and involvement of the left hip. Use it when the record clearly links the lung manifestation to rheumatoid arthritis and specifies the left hip.
Clinical signs
Typical findings may include chronic inflammatory joint symptoms in the left hip plus documented pulmonary involvement associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the provider documents rheumatoid lung disease as a manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis and also states left hip involvement. You should confirm both the pulmonary condition and the laterality in the note. If the lung disease or hip site is not specified, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use this code if the lung condition is unrelated to rheumatoid arthritis or if the hip laterality is not documented. Check documentation.
Coding tip
Verify the causal link between rheumatoid arthritis and lung disease before assigning this code.
