What This Code Means

Z89.629 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for acquired absence of unspecified hip joint. A person who has lost a hip joint (side not specified) due to amputation or surgical removal. This is a permanent condition severely affecting mobility and requiring prosthetic devices. Z89.629 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for factors influencing health status and contact with health services (z00-z99), within the section covering persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status (z77-z99).

Z89.629 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.
