S63.07 — Subluxation and dislocation of distal end of ulna
Is S63.07 billable?
No — S63.07 is a non-billable header code. S63.07 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 18 billable codes beneath S63.07.

How is S63.07 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S63.07. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Dislocation › ulna › distal end (articular)
- Subluxation › ulna › distal end
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S63.07 to fully describe the condition. S63.07 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 S63.07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S63.07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S63
The conditions below are not part of S63.07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S63.07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of wrist and hand (S66.-)
Code also — inherited from S63
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S63.07 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound

How long has S63.07 existed?
S63.07 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.
