S62.359 — Nondisplaced fracture of shaft of unspecified metacarpal bone
Is S62.359 billable?
No — S62.359 is a non-billable header code. S62.359 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 7 billable codes beneath S62.359.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.359 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 S62.359 to fully describe the condition. S62.359 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 S62.359, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.359 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S62.359, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.359 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S62
The conditions below are not part of S62.359, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.359 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S62.3
The conditions below are not part of S62.359, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.359 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of first metacarpal bone (S62.2-)
