ICD-10-CM Code K14.2 Median rhomboid glossitis Billable Code K14.2 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Median rhomboid glossitis. It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021.
The rhomboid flap is a local transposition flap – a flap that moves laterally about a pivot point into an adjacent defect. This lateral movement differs it from a rotation flap. The donor site wound is closed directly under minimal tension.
0KXF0Z5 is a valid billable ICD-10 procedure code for Transfer Right Trunk Muscle, Latissimus Dorsi Myocutaneous Flap, Open Approach . It is found in the 2022 version of the ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (PCS) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2021 - Sep 30, 2022 .
distal border of the flap is placed on the line that bisects the angle between the short diagonal of the rhomboid defect and its adjacent side the acute angle of the flap is still 60°.
Strain of unspecified muscle, fascia and tendon at shoulder and upper arm level, right arm, initial encounter. S46. 911A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S46.
ICD-10 code Z98. 890 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .

1, we need to report first Z47. 89 Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare, as the Primary diagnosis followed by Z98. 1.
ICD-10 code G89. 29 for Other chronic pain is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
Z98. 890 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98. 890 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Limb-length discrepancy is a difference in size between the length of both arms or both legs. Small differences in limb length are common. In fact, as many as a third of the population may have a 1 cm or less (less than ½ inch) discrepancy between their right and left legs.
The treatments that can be considered include a shoe insert, a high shoe, or an orthosis, surgically induced slowing of growth by blockade of the epiphyseal plates around the knee joint, or leg lengthening with osteotomy and subsequent distraction of the bone callus with fully implanted or external apparatus.
Tape measure. A tape measure is typically used to measure the length of each lower extremity by measuring the distance between the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the medial malleolus and is referred to as the “direct” clinical method for measuring LLD (Fig. 2).
For example, if a patient with severe degenerative osteoarthritis of the hip, underwent hip replacement and the current encounter/admission is for rehabilitation, report code Z47. 1, Aftercare following joint replacement surgery, as the first-listed or principal diagnosis.
89 as the primary diagnosis and the specific drug dependence diagnosis as the secondary diagnosis. For the monitoring of patients on methadone maintenance and chronic pain patients with opioid dependence use diagnosis code Z79. 891, suspected of abusing other illicit drugs, use diagnosis code Z79. 899.
Z codes may be used as either a first-listed (principal diagnosis code in the inpatient setting) or secondary code, depending on the circumstances of the encounter. Certain Z codes may only be used as first-listed or principal diagnosis.

ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems Z48. 81.
ICD-10 code M25. 572 for Pain in left ankle and joints of left foot is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Arthropathies .
Z47.89ICD-10-CM Code for Encounter for other orthopedic aftercare Z47. 89.
A rotation flap is a curvilinear flap that closes a defect by a rotating the skin around a pivot point. A transposition flap is cut, lifted, and transferred over intervening tissue onto the defect. This type of flap is also referred to as a rhombic, bilobed, or nasolabial fold flap.
A large defect is created in the nasolabial fold and the surgeon needs to create three flaps to close the defect. Even though three flaps are created, three flaps cannot be coded because there is only one defect. But the closure of the secondary defects that are created by all of the flaps may be coded for, so make sure they are accounted ...
Surgeons may have to create multiple flaps to close a defect, but the multiple flaps cannot be coded since there is only one primary defect. Also, the removal of the lesion to create the primary defect is considered included in the adjacent tissue arrangement. Per CPT® Assistant July 2008, Volume 18: Issue 7, Coding Communication, ...
The rhomboid flap is classified as a local transposition flap – a flap that moves laterally about a pivot point into an adjacent defect. This lateral movement differs it from a rotation flap. The donor site wound is closed directly under minimal tension. Other examples of transposition flaps include:
The triple rhomboid flap has been used since its initial report as an effective means of covering local defects. One aesthetic advantage, when compared to skin grafts, is lack of alopecia and skin tone alterations.
distal border of the flap is placed on the line that bisects the angle between the short diagonal of the rhomboid defect and its adjacent side
This island flap receives its blood supply from random non-dominant blood vessels in the subdermal plexus which is where the term “random” island flap comes in. The flap receives blood flow from the donor site where the flap is created and is then moved over or under other tissues to reach the defect needing repair.
Advancement Flaps: An adjacent tissue transfer technique where incisions are made to create a flap that slides or “advances” forward from its normal location into a defect for repair. Here is a visual for this type of flap: Advancement Flap
CPT states that for undermining alone, you should code a complex repair code (CPT codes 13100-13160).
