S82.0 — Fracture of patella
Is S82.0 billable?
No — S82.0 is a non-billable header code. S82.0 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 S82.0.

Inclusion terms
Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S82.0.
- Knee cap
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S82
The conditions below can never be reported together with S82.0 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.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S82.0 to fully describe the condition. S82.0 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 S82.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S82.0, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S82.0 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S82

What codes fall under S82.0? (6)
How long has S82.0 existed?
S82.0 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.
