Which MS-DRGs does S62.658K group to?
S62.658K sits in MDC 08 and helps define the logic of 3 MS-DRGs (version 44, FY2027). Which one a stay actually groups to also depends on procedures and secondary diagnoses.
- 564Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with MCCmedical
- 565Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses with CCmedical
- 566Other Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue Diagnoses without CC/MCCmedical
As a secondary diagnosis, S62.658K is a complication or comorbidity (CC), which can move a stay into a higher-paying DRG.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S62.658K.
- Nondisplaced fracture of middle phalanx of specified finger with unspecified laterality
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S62
The conditions below can never be reported together with S62.658K 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 S62.658K to fully describe the condition. S62.658K 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 S62.658K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.658K and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S62.658K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.658K and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S62
The conditions below are not part of S62.658K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.658K 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 S62.658K, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S62.658K and the excluded code may both be reported.
- fracture of thumb (S62.5-)
How long has S62.658K existed?
S62.658K has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
