QUESTION: What is the correct ICD-9-CM procedure code to report a reconstruction polydactyly? The CPT code is 28344, but I'm not sure whether ICD-9-CM procedure code 86.26 is the correct code? ANSWER: Procedure code 86.26 (ligation of dermal appendage) is also used for the ligation of supernumerary toe. The term polydactyly indicates that the patient has more than five fingers or toes, and the term supernumerary means having more than the normal number.
