Partial traumatic amp at level betw right hip and knee, subs

This code signifies a partial traumatic amputation of the right lower limb, specifically occurring at a point between the hip and the knee joint. This means that a portion of the limb, but not the entire limb, was severed due to an injury, and the patient is now receiving follow-up care for this condition.

Use this code for subsequent encounters where a patient is receiving ongoing treatment, such as wound care, physical therapy, or prosthetic fitting, for a partial traumatic amputation of the right thigh. It is appropriate for any visit after the initial treatment of the acute injury.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies "partial" amputation and the right side.
• Verify the encounter type is "subsequent" (D) and not initial (A) or sequela (S).
• Confirm the amputation site is between the hip and knee; differentiate from amputations at or below the knee.
