S83.01 — Lateral subluxation and dislocation of patella
Is S83.01 billable?
No — S83.01 is a non-billable header code. S83.01 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 S83.01.

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S83.01 to fully describe the condition. S83.01 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 S83.01, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S83.01 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S80-S89
The conditions below are not part of S83.01, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S83.01 and the excluded code may both be reported.
