Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Injuries to the ankle and foot
      (S90-S99)
      • Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at ankle, foot and toe level
        (S93)

S93.31 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 tarsal 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 Subluxation and dislocation of tarsal joint

Non-specific codes like S93.31 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 tarsal joint:

  • S93.311 for Subluxation of tarsal joint of right foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.311A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.311D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.311S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.312 for Subluxation of tarsal joint of left foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.312A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.312D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.312S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.313 for Subluxation of tarsal joint of unspecified foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.313A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.313D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.313S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.314 for Dislocation of tarsal joint of right foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.314A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.314D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.314S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.315 for Dislocation of tarsal joint of left foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.315A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.315D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.315S for sequela - BILLABLE CODE

  • S93.316 for Dislocation of tarsal joint of unspecified foot - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.316A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.316D for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use S93.316S 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


Ankle Injuries and Disorders

Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it.

The most common ankle problems are sprains and fractures (broken bones). A sprain is an injury to the ligaments. It may take a few weeks to many months to heal completely. A fracture is a break in a bone. You can also injure other parts of the ankle such as tendons, which join muscles to bone, and cartilage, which cushions your joints. Ankle sprains and fractures are common sports injuries.

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.
