How is S88.01 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S88.01. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Amputation › traumatic › leg › at knee level
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S88
The conditions below can never be reported together with S88.01 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S88.01 to fully describe the condition. S88.01 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S88.01, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S88.01 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S88.01, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S88.01 and the excluded code may both be reported.
