S93.12 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint. 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 Dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint

Non-specific codes like S93.12 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 dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint:

  • S93.121 for Dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint of right great toe - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.121A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.121D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.121S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.122 for Dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint of left great toe - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.122A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.122D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.122S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.123 for Dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint of unspecified great toe - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.123A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.123D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.123S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.126A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.126D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.126S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.129 for Dislocation of metatarsophalangeal joint of unspecified toe(s) - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.129A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.129D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.129S 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.

Foot Injuries and Disorders

Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:

  • Bunions - hard, painful bumps on the big toe joint
  • Corns and calluses - thickened skin from friction or pressure
  • Plantar warts - warts on the soles of your feet
  • Fallen arches - also called flat feet

Ill-fitting shoes often cause these problems. Aging and being overweight also increase your chances of having foot problems.

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.
