In ICD-9-CM, the Alphabetic Index main term entry is Reattachment; subterm finger. This directs users to code 84.22, Finger Reattachment. ICD-9-CM has a unique code for thumb reattachment.
In ICD-10-PCS, the root operation for this procedure is Reattachment, as the objective of the procedure is to put back a separated body part to its normal location. The Index main term entry is Reattachment; subterms, Finger, Middle, Left. This entry directs users to the Table 0XM. The ICD-10-PCS procedure code for this scenario is 0XMR0ZZ.
The definition for the root operation Reattachment provided in the 2014 ICD-10-PCS Reference Manual is, "Putting back in or on all or a portion of a separated body part to its normal location or other suitable location." Reattachment procedures include putting back a body part that has been cut off or avulsed.
In ICD-10-PCS, the user may elect to look in the Index under Advancement which provides options to see Reposition or see Transfer. The objective of the procedure is to move the advancement flap into another location without taking out the body part as well as to take over the function of the body part.
The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
