S32.9XXD — Fracture of unspecified parts of lumbosacral spine and pelvis, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
Is S32.9XXD billable?
Yes, but S32.9XXD is an unspecified code. S32.9XXD is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S32.9XXD 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 S32.9XXD — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S32.9XXD.
- Fracture of lumbosacral spine NOS
- Fracture of pelvis NOS
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S32
The conditions below can never be reported together with S32.9XXD 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 S32.9XXD. S32.9XXD 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 S32.9XXD to fully describe the condition. S32.9XXD 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 S32.9XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.9XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S32.9XXD, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S32.9XXD and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S32.9XXD existed?
S32.9XXD 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.
