Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of finger
Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 10 more specific codes instead:
- S62.640 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of right index finger (also a header)
- S62.641 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left index finger (also a header)
- S62.642 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of right middle finger (also a header)
- S62.643 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left middle finger (also a header)
- S62.644 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of right ring finger (also a header)
- S62.645 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left ring finger (also a header)
- S62.646 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of right little finger (also a header)
- S62.647 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger (also a header)
- S62.648 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of other finger (also a header)
- S62.649 Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of unspecified finger (also a header)
This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of finger
Official coding rules
Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.
Inherited from S62 Fracture at wrist and hand level
Seventh character required
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S62
Excludes1 - never coded here
- traumatic amputation of wrist and hand (S68.-)
Excludes2 - not included here
- fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)
Note
- A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced
- A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
Inherited from the S60-S69 section Injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers (S60-S69)
Excludes2 - not included here
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
How CDC's index refers to this code
Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
- Fracture, traumatic > finger > proximal phalanx > nondisplaced
- Fracture, traumatic > finger > ring > proximal phalanx > nondisplaced
- Fracture, traumatic > finger > index > proximal phalanx > nondisplaced
- Fracture, traumatic > finger > little > proximal phalanx > nondisplaced
- Fracture, traumatic > finger > middle > proximal phalanx > nondisplaced
