S32.02 — Fracture of second lumbar vertebra
Is S32.02 billable?
No — S32.02 is a non-billable header code. S32.02 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 30 billable codes beneath S32.02.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.02 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 — inherited from S32
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S32.02. S32.02 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
- any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S32.02 to fully describe the condition. S32.02 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 S32.02, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.02 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.02, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.02 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S32.02 existed?
S32.02 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.
