Complete traumatic amputation of penis, subsequent encounter

This code signifies the complete severance of the penis due to a traumatic injury, indicating that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this specific condition. It describes the total detachment of the organ, as opposed to a partial amputation or other penile injuries.

This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is being treated for complications, healing, or rehabilitation related to a previously sustained complete traumatic amputation of the penis. This includes visits for wound care, infection management, prosthetic fitting, or psychological support following the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "complete" amputation and "traumatic" etiology.
• Verify the encounter is for follow-up care, not the initial treatment of the injury.
• Always code with an external cause code (V00-Y99) to describe the circumstances of the injury.
