Encounter for fit/adjst of complete left artificial arm

This code signifies a patient's visit for the initial placement or subsequent modification of a prosthetic device replacing their entire left arm. This includes the fitting process to ensure proper function and comfort, as well as any necessary adjustments to the device itself or its suspension system.

Use this code when a patient presents for the initial fitting of a new complete left arm prosthesis following an amputation, or for follow-up appointments where the existing complete left arm prosthesis requires adjustments due to changes in the residual limb, wear and tear, or functional issues. This applies to both new and established patients.

• Ensure documentation specifies "complete" and "left" to support this specific code.
• Distinguish between fitting/adjustment of a prosthesis versus repair or replacement due to damage.
• Pair with a procedure code for the fitting or adjustment service performed.
