S62 — Fracture at wrist and hand level

Not billable

Is S62 billable?

No — S62 is a non-billable header code. S62 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 S62.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with S62 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • traumatic amputation of wrist and hand (S68.-)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of S62, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)

Note

  • A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
