About coding wrist dislocation
The ICD-10-CM code for wrist dislocation is S63.006 (Unspecified dislocation of unspecified wrist and hand). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S63.006.
Within S63.00, choose S63.006 (dislocation of unspecified wrist and hand) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: subluxation of right wrist and hand (S63.001), subluxation of left wrist and hand (S63.002), subluxation of unspecified wrist and hand (S63.003), dislocation of right wrist and hand (S63.004) and dislocation of left wrist and hand (S63.005).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. 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.
