ICD-10-CM Code K41.90
Unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent

BILLABLE
Billable Code
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

K41.90 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unilateral femoral hernia, without obstruction or gangrene, not specified as recurrent. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


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.

Equivalent ICD-9 Code GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Femoral hernia without mention of obstruction of gangrene, unilateral or unspecified(not specified as recurrent) (exact match)

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 553.00 was previously used, K41.90 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
