Complete physeal arrest, right proximal humerus

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

A condition where the growth plate in the right upper arm bone (near the shoulder) has completely stopped growing, typically occurring in children and adolescents.

Coding Tips

  • •This code is specific to 'complete' arrest; verify the arrest is documented as complete, not partial
  • •Physeal arrest codes are commonly used in pediatric orthopedics; confirm patient age and growth plate status
