Hello, all.
In reviewing the ICD-10 codes, I am not finding any bilateral codes (e.g.
S88 codes have right-S88.011x-S88.921x, left (S88.012x-S88.922x or
unspecified S88.019x-S88.929x). This seems to be the case with the Dx
codes I have been dealing with for our orthotic patients, as well.
Are there codes for bilateral that I'm missing? Or are we supposed to use
left and right codes for bilateral amputees (i.e. S88.011x & S88.012x)?
Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.
