About coding metacarpal fracture
The ICD-10-CM code for metacarpal fracture is S62.309 (Unspecified fracture of unspecified metacarpal bone). The official index lists 47 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S62.309.
Within S62.30, choose S62.309 (unspecified metacarpal bone) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: second metacarpal bone, right hand (S62.300), second metacarpal bone, left hand (S62.301), third metacarpal bone, right hand (S62.302), third metacarpal bone, left hand (S62.303), fourth metacarpal bone, right hand (S62.304), fourth metacarpal bone, left hand (S62.305), fifth metacarpal bone, right hand (S62.306), fifth metacarpal bone, left hand (S62.307) and 1 more.
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.
