S62.319S — Displaced fracture of base of unspecified metacarpal bone, sequela
Is S62.319S billable?
Yes, but S62.319S is an unspecified code. S62.319S is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S62.319S 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 S62.319S — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.319S 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.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S62.319S to fully describe the condition. S62.319S is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
