Valid for Submission

S92.223D is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of displaced fracture of lateral cuneiform of unspecified foot, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. The code S92.223D is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.

The ICD-10-CM code S92.223D might also be used to specify conditions or terms like closed fracture of cuneiform bone of foot, closed fracture of lateral cuneiform bone of foot, fracture of lateral cuneiform, open fracture of cuneiform bone of foot or open fracture of lateral cuneiform bone of foot. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.

S92.223D is a subsequent encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used after the patient has completed active treatment for a condition like displaced fracture of lateral cuneiform of unspecified foot for fracture with routine healing. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines a "subsequent encounter" occurs when the patient is receiving routine care for the condition during the healing or recovery phase of treatment. Subsequent diagnosis codes are appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times the patient has seen the provider for this condition. If the provider needs to adjust the patient's care plan due to a setback or other complication, the encounter becomes active again.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like S92.223D 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.

Fractures

Also called: Broken bone

A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones. Overuse can cause stress fractures, which are very small cracks in the bone.

Symptoms of a fracture are

You need to get medical care right away for any fracture. An x-ray can tell if your bone is broken. You may need to wear a cast or splint. Sometimes you need surgery to put in plates, pins or screws to keep the bone in place.
