M70. 61 - Trochanteric bursitis, right hip. ICD-10-CM.
Trochanteric bursitis, unspecified hip M70. 60 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M70. 60 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Trochanteric bursitis is inflammation (swelling) of the bursa (fluid-filled sac near a joint) at the outside (lateral) point of the hip known as the greater trochanter. When this bursa becomes irritated or inflamed, it causes pain in the hip.
(The other bursa, on the inside of the hip area, is called the iliopsoas bursa.) When that outside hip bursa gets inflamed, you have trochanteric bursitis. Also known as greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS), it is a common condition and easily treatable.

You are absolutely correct. Since the procedure was performed on Trochanteric BURSA, CPT 20610 should be billed..
Trochanteric bursitis is an inflammation in the sac of fluid (bursa) that surrounds the outside bone, or trochanter, of your hip. The lower outside part of your hip will hurt, and moving hurts. Lying on hip will cause pain, as will pressure on the area.
There are two major bursae in the hip that typically become irritated and inflamed. One bursa covers the bony point of the hip bone called the greater trochanter. Inflammation of this bursa is called trochanteric bursitis. Another bursa — the iliopsoas bursa — is located on the inside (groin side) of the hip.
Causes of trochanteric bursitis include: injuries from a fall, a hard hit to your hipbone, or from lying on one side for a long time. overuse from repetitive activities such as running, bicycling, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods of time. hip surgery or prosthetic implants in the hips.
The greater trochanter is located at the top of the thighbone (femur) and is the most prominent and widest part of the hip.
Occasionally, this bursa can become inflamed and clinically painful and tender – this is called trochanteric bursitis. More often the lateral (outer) hip pain is caused by changes within the gluteal tendons (tendinopathy) which may secondarily inflame the bursa.
