== Additional Info ==

* It refers to medical removal of an '''external''' body structure -- most often digit or limb, but includes ear, nose, etc.

* for AKA or BKA combine this code with [[(T) Leg, NOS]]

* It must be distinguished from removal of an '''internal''' body part, for which you use one of the "[[:Category:Excision|Excision]]" codes.

* To code amputations in the past, use the code [[Past history, loss of limb(s)]] as applicable

==~~Comments~~==

== Alternate CCIs to consider coding instead or in addition ==

~~Question: when patient has an amputation of one digit, that is~~ done ~~at the bedside under local freezing, does everyone capture this as amputation OR, or under CVS OR as debridement? Fran Lindell, March 19.09~~

*[[CCI component 2 codes - what was done]]

~~Answer: for the amputation, if~~ this ~~was something a researcher wanted to know about~~, ~~as long as the amputation is captured~~, ~~they could pull the chart. There is many other categories we would like to see have subcodes, amputations is~~ not ~~one. The code book would be way too long to add everything. --[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 11:33, 26 March 2009 (CDT~~)
