Patient EducationClinical

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.

Questions About S33.39XDOverview

Is S33.39XD (Dislocation of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis) a billable code?

Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report dislocation of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis, subsequent encounter on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

What does the 7th character D in S33.39XD mean?

The final character D marks a subsequent encounter: use it for routine care while the dislocation of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis is healing, after active treatment has ended.

What MS-DRG does S33.39XD group to?

When dislocation of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis, subsequent encounter is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 950, 949, with relative weights from 0.7661 to 1.1231 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.

Is S33.39XD exempt from POA reporting?

Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for dislocation of other parts of lumbar spine and pelvis, subsequent encounter on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals (S30-S39) range of the CMS exempt list.

Can S33.39XD be reported with a code from M51?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at S33, which applies to S33.39XD, lists "nontraumatic rupture or displacement of lumbar intervertebral disc NOS (M51.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
