Can anyone tell me if there is an ICD-10 code for Transmetatarsal amputation? It's not midfoot, it's forefoot, it's not just toes, that's all that's covered.
I hope someone might have an answer for me.
 
Unfortunately, forefoot isn't an option. ICD-10 only gives the option of ankle level, toe/s, midfoot, or level unspecified. There is the option of Other specified injuries of left/right foot which is S99.811/S99.812.
I would probably go with the forefoot. The midfoot connects the forefoot to the ankle so he is missing the forefoot but not the ankle. Hope that helps.
