Traumatic amputation of ankle and foot
In Injuries to the ankle and foot (S90-S99), chapter 19: Injury, Poisoning and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes
108 billable codes under S98: 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.

Foot Injuries and Disorders
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:

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.
