Billable

Complete physeal arrest, right distal radius

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 forearm bone (near the wrist) has completely stopped growing, preventing further bone lengthening in that area.

Coding Tips

  • •Confirm documentation explicitly states 'complete' physeal arrest at the distal radius
  • •Verify right side is documented; left side would use M89.132
