S92 is a non-billable ICD-10-CM category code for fracture of foot and toe, except ankle, so it cannot be submitted on claims. Use a more specific code from this category instead, such as S92.001A, S92.001B, S92.001D, and S92.001G.

Coding GuidelinesGuidance

The principles of multiple coding of injuries should be followed in coding fractures. Fractures of specified sites are coded individually by site, to the level of detail furnished by medical record content.

A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. A fracture not indicated whether displaced or not displaced should be coded to displaced.

Initial vs. Subsequent Encounter for Fractures

Traumatic fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for initial encounter (A, B, C) while the patient is receiving active treatment for the fracture. The appropriate 7th character for initial encounter should also be assigned for a patient who delayed seeking treatment for the fracture or nonunion.

Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.

Care for complications of surgical treatment for fracture repairs during the healing or recovery phase should be coded with the appropriate complication codes.

Care of complications of fractures, such as malunion and nonunion, should be reported with the appropriate 7th character for subsequent care with nonunion (K, M, N) or subsequent care with malunion (P, Q, R).

The open fracture designations in the assignment of the 7th character for fractures of the forearm, femur and lower leg, including ankle are based on the Gustilo open fracture classification. When the Gustilo classification type is not specified for an open fracture, the 7th character for open fracture type I or II should be assigned (B, E, H, M, Q).

Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to S92: its own notes plus those printed at block S90-S99 and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Excludes2

Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.

On S92 itself
  • fracture of ankle (S82.-)
  • fracture of malleolus (S82.-)
  • traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)
From Block S90-S99 Injuries to the ankle and foot applies to 3,324 codes
  • burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
  • fracture of ankle and malleolus (S82.-)
  • frostbite (T33-T34)
  • insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes

Use Additional Code

Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.

From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

On S92 itself
  • 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
From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
  • Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.

7th Character

Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.

  • The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S92
Values for category S92 Open or Closed Fracture Encounter
  • Ainitial encounter for closed fracture
  • Binitial encounter for open fracture
  • Dsubsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
  • Gsubsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
  • Ksubsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
  • Psubsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
  • Ssequela

Excludes1 3

These codes carry an Excludes1 note naming S92: they are not reported together with it, unless the two conditions are unrelated.

  • M84.3 Stress fracture
    traumatic fracture (S12.-, S22.-, S32.-, S42.-, S52.-, S62.-, S72.-, S82.-, S92.-)
  • M84.4 Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified
    traumatic fracture (S12.-, S22.-, S32.-, S42.-, S52.-, S62.-, S72.-, S82.-, S92.-)
  • S91 Open wound of ankle, foot and toes
    open fracture of ankle, foot and toes (S92.-with 7th character B)

Excludes2 2

These codes carry an Excludes2 note naming S92: its condition is not part of those codes, and both may be reported when the patient has both.

  • S72 Fracture of femur
    fracture of foot (S92.-)
  • S82 Fracture of lower leg, including ankle
    fracture of foot, except ankle (S92.-)

Questions About S92Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for fracture of foot and toe, except ankle?

S92 is the ICD-10-CM category for fracture of foot and toe, except ankle, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is S92 (Fracture of foot and toe, except ankle) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for fracture of foot and toe, except ankle, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for fracture of foot and toe, except ankle need a more specific code from this category, such as S92.001A, S92.001B, and S92.001D.
