S92.146D — Nondisplaced dome fracture of unspecified talus, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
Is S92.146D billable?
Yes, but S92.146D is an unspecified code. S92.146D is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, S92.146D is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting S92.146D — the more specific alternatives are listed below.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S92.14
The conditions below can never be reported together with S92.146D on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- osteochondritis dissecans (M93.2)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S92.146D to fully describe the condition. S92.146D 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 S92.146D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S92.146D and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S90-S99
The conditions below are not part of S92.146D, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S92.146D and the excluded code may both be reported.
