M89.126
BillableComplete physeal arrest, left distal 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 left upper arm bone (near the elbow) has completely stopped growing, preventing further bone lengthening in that area.
Coding Tips
- •Confirm documentation explicitly states 'complete' physeal arrest at the distal humerus
- •Verify left side is documented; right side would use M89.125
