Finger-joint replacement, bilateral

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

What This Code Means

A patient has artificial joints replacing finger joints in both hands. These prosthetic replacements are used to restore function and reduce pain in damaged finger joints on both sides.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when finger-joint replacements are documented in both the right and left hands
  • •Do not use this code if replacements are only on one side; use Z96.691 or Z96.692 instead
