Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Injuries to the ankle and foot
      (S90-S99)
      • Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level
        (S93)

S93.10 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of unspecified subluxation and dislocation of toe. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like S93.10 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Specific Coding Applicable to Unspecified subluxation and dislocation of toe

Non-specific codes like S93.10 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for unspecified subluxation and dislocation of toe:

  • S93.101 for Unspecified subluxation of right toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.101A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.101D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.101S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.102 for Unspecified subluxation of left toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.102A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.102D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.102S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.103 for Unspecified subluxation of unspecified toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.103A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.103D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.103S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.104 for Unspecified dislocation of right toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.104A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.104D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.104S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.105 for Unspecified dislocation of left toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.105A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.105D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.105S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.106 for Unspecified dislocation of unspecified toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.106A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.106D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.106S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level (S93). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Patient Education


Dislocations

Dislocations are joint injuries that force the ends of your bones out of position. The cause is often a fall or a blow, sometimes from playing a contact sport. You can dislocate your ankles, knees, shoulders, hips, elbows and jaw. You can also dislocate your finger and toe joints. Dislocated joints often are swollen, very painful and visibly out of place. You may not be able to move it.

A dislocated joint is an emergency. If you have one, seek medical attention. Treatment depends on which joint you dislocate and the severity of the injury. It might include manipulations to reposition your bones, medicine, a splint or sling, and rehabilitation. When properly repositioned, a joint will usually function and move normally again in a few weeks. Once you dislocate a shoulder or kneecap, you are more likely to dislocate it again. Wearing protective gear during sports may help prevent dislocations.

Toe Injuries and Disorders

Fourteen of the 26 bones in your feet are in your toes. The toes, particularly your big toe, help you move and keep your balance. Playing sports, running, stubbing your toe, and dropping something on your foot can damage your toes. Wearing shoes that are too loose or too tight can also cause toe problems. Certain diseases, such as severe arthritis, can cause toe problems and pain. Gout often causes pain in the big toe.

Common toe problems include :

  • Corns and bunions
  • Ingrown toenails
  • Sprains and dislocations
  • Fractures (broken bones)

Treatments for toe injuries and disorders vary. They might include shoe inserts or special shoes, padding, taping, medicines, rest, and in severe cases, surgery.
