According to the CMS ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting for Fiscal Year 2021, the aftercare Z codes should not be used for aftercare of traumatic fractures. For aftercare of a traumatic fracture, assign the acute fracture code with the appropriate 7th character. Here are examples of the difference:
ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare Z47. 89.

All involved in medical billing and coding need to upgrade their knowledge and billing systems to comply with ICD-10. The ICD-10-PCS is the coding system that will replace ICD-9-CM Volume 3, which involves inpatient procedures. ICD-10-PCS covers disease prevention, identification of diagnosis, treatment plans and case management. There are 87,000 codes in ICD-10 as compared to the 14,000 in ICD-9-CM.
The 5 digit codes used in ICD-9 lack some specification of information. For example, if an orthopedic patient is seen for a fracture on the right arm, the ICD-9 diagnosis code does not specify that the fracture is on the right arm. A modifier code had to be included to designate the affected side. In the ICD-10 diagnosis code set, additional characters are used to allow identification of right and left arm, simplifying the process of billing by reducing paper work.
