S02.69XK — Fracture of mandible of other specified site, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion

BillableUnspecifiedCC

Is S02.69XK billable?

Yes, but S02.69XK is an unspecified code. S02.69XK is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S02.69XK is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting S02.69XK — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Which MS-DRGs does S02.69XK group to?

S02.69XK sits in MDC 08 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.

  • 565Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CCmedical
  • 566Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical

As a secondary diagnosis, S02.69XK is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

  • frostbite (T33-T34)
  • insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)

Code also — inherited from S00-S09

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S02.69XK is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

Code also — inherited from S02

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S02.69XK is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.

  • any associated intracranial injury (S06.-)
