S32.463D — Displaced associated transverse-posterior fracture of unspecified acetabulum, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
Is S32.463D billable?
Yes, but S32.463D is an unspecified code. S32.463D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S32.463D 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 S32.463D — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

What does the 7th character "D" mean in S32.463D?
In S32.463D, the 7th character D means subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. The 7th character is required for S32.463D to be a valid, complete code.
Same condition, different episode of care — switch the 7th character:
Which MS-DRGs does S32.463D group to?
S32.463D 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.

How is S32.463D listed in the Alphabetic Index?
The Alphabetic Index lists these routes under S32.46, the nearest indexed parent of S32.463D. Use them to find the family, then select the specific code.
- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › transverse › with associated posterior wall fracture (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › transverse › with associated posterior wall fracture › nondisplaced (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › wall › posterior › with associated transverse fracture (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
- Fracture, traumatic › acetabulum › wall › posterior › with associated transverse fracture › nondisplaced (abduction) (adduction) (separation)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.463D 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 S32.463D. S32.463D 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 S32.463D to fully describe the condition. S32.463D 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 S32.463D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.463D and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.463D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.463D and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S32
The conditions below are not part of S32.463D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.463D and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of hip NOS (S72.0-)
Code also — inherited from S32.4
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S32.463D is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated fracture of pelvic ring (S32.8-)
How long has S32.463D existed?
S32.463D 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.
