I was coding Home Health am not now and I remember in the Decision Health manual it states that
"Ulcers of the amputation stump are not considered amputation stump complications." I cannot find this information in regular ICD-10 Official Code Set Book and would like to know if anyone else has seen this and has documentation for this? The complications under amputation in the ICD-10 book do not state ulcer for a complication at all, under Amputation Complications it just states contracture, flexion, edema, and hematoma for T87.89 code. I have looked in Coding Clinic but can't find anything about this.
Thanks for your help.
