Z44.111
ICD-10-CMEncounter for fitting and adjustment of complete right artificial leg
This code describes a patient encounter focused on the initial fitting or subsequent adjustment of a complete prosthetic device for the right lower limb. This includes activities such as measuring, molding, and modifying the artificial leg to ensure proper fit, function, and patient comfort. The encounter is specifically for a complete prosthesis, not a partial one.
This code is appropriate for encounters where a patient is receiving a new right artificial leg and requires fitting services, or when an existing right artificial leg needs adjustments due to changes in limb volume, wear and tear, or discomfort. It should be used for follow-up visits dedicated solely to the fitting or adjustment process.
