Z89

Z89 — Acquired absence of limb

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

Z89 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for acquired absence of limb. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

acquired deformities of limbs (M20-M21)
congenital absence of limbs (Q71-Q73)

Includes

Conditions this code covers.

amputation status
postprocedural loss of limb
post-traumatic loss of limb

Other codes that can never be billed with Z89

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Z89. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Z89 alone.

M20Acquired deformities of fingers and toes
M21Other acquired deformities of limbs
Z47.31Aftercare following explantation of shoulder joint prosthesis
Z47.32Aftercare following explantation of hip joint prosthesis
Z47.33Aftercare following explantation of knee joint prosthesis

Risk adjustment

Z89 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead Z89

7 child codes. Green means billable.
