Z97.15

Billable

Presence of artificial arms, bilateral (complete) (partial)

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

What This Code Means

A patient has artificial arm prosthetics on both sides (bilateral), which may be complete or partial replacements.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifically indicates bilateral arm prosthetics; do not use Z97.11 and Z97.12 together when Z97.15 applies
  • •Document the extent of each prosthetic (complete vs. partial) in the medical record for comprehensive care planning
