What does the 7th character "D" mean in S62.616D?
In S62.616D, the 7th character D means subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. The 7th character is required for S62.616D to be a valid, complete code.
Same condition, different episode of care — switch the 7th character:
- Ainitial encounter for closed fractureS62.616A
- Binitial encounter for open fractureS62.616B
- Dsubsequent encounter for fracture with routine healingS62.616D

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.616D 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 S62.616D to fully describe the condition. S62.616D 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 S62.616D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.616D and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S62.616D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.616D and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S62
The conditions below are not part of S62.616D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.616D and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S62.6
The conditions below are not part of S62.616D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.616D and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of thumb (S62.5-)
How long has S62.616D existed?
S62.616D 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.
