V54.82 — Aftercare following explantation of joint prosthesis
About ICD-9-CM V54.82
V54.82 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for aftercare following explantation of joint prosthesis. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as Z47.31 (Aftercare following explantation of shoulder joint prosthesis), Z47.32 (Aftercare following explantation of hip joint prosthesis) and Z47.33 (Aftercare following explantation of knee joint prosthesis). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
