S92.009D — Unspecified fracture of unspecified calcaneus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
Is S92.009D billable?
Yes, but S92.009D is an unspecified code. S92.009D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S92.009D is an unspecified or catch-all code.
