The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
CPT code 27236 (open treatment of femoral fracture, proximal end, neck, internal fixation or prosthetic replacement) would be used to report a hemiarthroplasty for a hip fracture. At my practice, coders get this wrong 98% of the time. When coding from the operative report, use caution when assigning the appropriate hip hemiarthroplasty codes.

Overview. A hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that involves replacing half of the hip joint. Hemi means “half” and arthroplasty refers to “joint replacement.” Replacing the entire hip joint is called total hip replacement (THR). A hemiarthroplasty is generally used to treat a fractured hip.
ICD-10-CM Code for Presence of artificial hip joint Z96. 64.
Coding for the hip replacement surgery is 27132.
This surgical procedure replaces the head of a damaged femur with an implant designed to stabilize the femur and restore hip function. Unlike total hip replacement, in which both the ball of the femur and the hip socket are replaced, in this procedure, only the ball is replaced.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used. Various types of arthritis may affect the joints.
ICD-10-CM S72. 001A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 521 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture with mcc. 522 Hip replacement with principal diagnosis of hip fracture without mcc.
CPT code 27125 is described as a “Hemiarthroplasty, hip, partial (eg, femoral stem prosthesis, bipolar arthroplasty).” It is to be used for hip reconstruction procedures that are generally elective.
Options include hemiarthroplasty, which involves replacing the femoral head with a prosthesis, or total hip arthroplasty, which involves replacement of both the femoral head and the acetabulum with prostheses.
A hemiarthroplasty is a half of a joint replacement. “Hemi-“means half and “-arthroplasty” means joint replacement. A hemiarthroplasty is a rare surgery that is only performed under unique circumstances. Replacing half of a hip joint is usually done after rare traumatic injury in which the femoral head is fractured.
