About coding carpal bone s fracture
The ICD-10-CM code for carpal bone s fracture is S62.10 (Fracture of unspecified carpal bone). The official index lists 23 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S62.10.
Within S62.1, choose S62.10 (unspecified carpal bone) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: triquetrum [cuneiform] bone of wrist (S62.11), lunate [semilunar] (S62.12), capitate [os magnum] bone (S62.13), body of hamate [unciform] bone (S62.14), hook process of hamate [unciform] bone (S62.15), pisiform (S62.16), trapezium [larger multangular] (S62.17) and trapezoid [smaller multangular] (S62.18).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion, P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion and 1 more. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
