BillablePartial 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 partially stopped growing, allowing some continued growth but with potential deformity.
Coding Tips
- •Distinguish between 'partial' and 'complete' arrest; this code is specifically for partial arrest only
- •Document which portion of the growth plate is affected (medial, lateral, central) if available in the medical record
