ICD Code K41 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of K41 that describes the diagnosis 'femoral hernia' in more detail.


The ICD code K41 is used to code Femoral hernia

A hernia is caused by the protrusion of a viscus (in the case of groin hernias, an intraabdominal organ) through a weakness in the containing wall. This weakness may be inherent, as in the case of inguinal, femoral and umbilical hernias. On the other hand, the weakness may be caused by surgical incision through the muscles of the abdominal/thoracic wall. Hernias occurring through these are called incisional hernias.
