 2006 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 996.47 
Other mechanical complication of prosthetic joint implant
- Short description: MECH COM PROS JT IMPLANT.
- ICD-9-CM 996.47 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 996.47 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
