Traumatic amputation of elbow and forearm
In Injuries to the elbow and forearm (S50-S59), chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes
54 billable codes under S58: 18 are a CC; 18 map to HCC 405 (Traumatic Amputations and Complications).A CC or MCC (major CC) is a secondary diagnosis that raises the MS-DRG payment. An HCC counts toward a Medicare Advantage patient's risk score.

About the condition
Plain-language background from MedlinePlus (National Library of Medicine), not coding guidance.
Limb Loss
People can lose all or part of an arm or leg for many reasons. Common ones include: Some amputees have phantom pain, which is the feeling of pain in the missing limb. Other physical problems include surgical complications and skin problems if you wear an artificial limb. Many amputees use an artificial limb. Learning how to use it takes time. Physical therapy can help you adapt.
