S72.132 — Displaced apophyseal fracture of left femur
Is S72.132 billable?
No — S72.132 is a non-billable header code. S72.132 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 16 billable codes beneath S72.132.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S72
The conditions below can never be reported together with S72.132 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 hip and thigh (S78.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S72.13
The conditions below can never be reported together with S72.132 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- chronic (nontraumatic) slipped upper femoral epiphysis (M93.0-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S72.132 to fully describe the condition. S72.132 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 S72.132, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.132 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S72.132, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S72.132 and the excluded code may both be reported.
