Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little 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 7 more specific codes instead:
- S62.647A Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, initial encounter for closed fracture
- S62.647B Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, initial encounter for open fracture
- S62.647D Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- S62.647G Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- S62.647K Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- S62.647P Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S62.647S Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little finger, sequela
This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2014 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.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of left little 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
