S63.07 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of subluxation and dislocation of distal end of ulna. 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.

Specific Coding Applicable to Subluxation and dislocation of distal end of ulna

Non-specific codes like S63.07 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 subluxation and dislocation of distal end of ulna:

  • S63.071 for Subluxation of distal end of right ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.071A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.071D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.071S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S63.072 for Subluxation of distal end of left ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.072A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.072D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.072S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S63.073 for Subluxation of distal end of unspecified ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.073A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.073D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.073S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S63.074 for Dislocation of distal end of right ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.074A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.074D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.074S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S63.075 for Dislocation of distal end of left ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.075A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.075D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.075S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S63.076 for Dislocation of distal end of unspecified ulna - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.076A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.076D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S63.076S 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 wrist and hand level (S63). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

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

Arm Injuries and Disorders

Of the 206 bones in your body, three of them are in your arm: the humerus, radius, and ulna. Your arms are also made up of muscles, joints, tendons, and other connective tissue. Injuries to any of these parts of the arm can occur during sports, a fall, or an accident.

Types of arm injuries include :

  • Tendinitis and bursitis
  • Sprains
  • Dislocations
  • Fractures (broken bones)
  • Nerve problems
  • Osteoarthritis

You may also have problems or injure specific parts of your arm, such as your hand, wrist, elbow, or shoulder.

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.
