S43.0 — Subluxation and dislocation of shoulder joint
Not billable
Is S43.0 billable?
No — S43.0 is a non-billable header code. S43.0 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 S43.0.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S43.0.
- Dislocation of glenohumeral joint
- Subluxation of glenohumeral joint
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S43.0 to fully describe the condition. S43.0 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 S43.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S43.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S40-S49
The conditions below are not part of S43.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S43.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S43
The conditions below are not part of S43.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S43.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of shoulder and upper arm (S46.-)
Code also — inherited from S43
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S43.0 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound

How long has S43.0 existed?
S43.0 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.
