S82 — Fracture of lower leg, including ankle

Not billable

Is S82 billable?

No — S82 is a non-billable header code. S82 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 S82.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with S82 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 lower leg (S88.-)

Excludes2 — not included here

The conditions below are not part of S82, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • fracture of foot, except ankle (S92.-)
  • periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic ankle joint (M97.2)
  • periprosthetic fracture around internal prosthetic implant of knee joint (M97.1-)

Includes

Conditions classified to S82.

  • fracture of malleolus

Note

  • A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
  • A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
  • The open fracture designations are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification
