S64 — Injury of nerves at wrist and hand level
Not billable
Is S64 billable?
No — S64 is a non-billable header code. S64 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 60 billable codes beneath S64.

How long has S64 existed?
S64 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.
