S32 — Fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis
Not billable
Is S32 billable?
No — S32 is a non-billable header code. S32 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath S32.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- transection of abdomen (S38.3)
Code first
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S32. S32 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S32, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of hip NOS (S72.0-)
Includes
Conditions classified to S32.
- fracture of lumbosacral neural arch
- fracture of lumbosacral spinous process
- fracture of lumbosacral transverse process
- fracture of lumbosacral vertebra
- fracture of lumbosacral vertebral arch
Note
- A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- A fracture not indicated as opened or closed should be coded to closed
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S32 to fully describe the condition. S32 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S32, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S32 existed?
S32 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
Which codes are confused with S32?
ICD-10-CM declares these codes mutually exclusive with S32 — exactly one of each pair can be correct for a given encounter.
