Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 7 more specific codes instead:

  • S92.502A Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), initial encounter for closed fracture
  • S92.502B Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), initial encounter for open fracture
  • S92.502D Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
  • S92.502G Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
  • S92.502K Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
  • S92.502P Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
  • S92.502S Displaced unspecified fracture of left lesser toe(s), sequela

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
