ICD Code S62.0 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the four child codes of S62.0 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of navicular [scaphoid] bone of wrist' in more detail.

The ICD code S620 is used to code Scaphoid fracture

A scaphoid fracture, a fracture of the scaphoid bone also known as the carpal navicular, is the most common type of carpal bone fracture. Scaphoid fractures usually cause pain at the base of the thumb accompanied by swelling in the same area. Scaphoid fractures usually cause pain and sensitivity to palpation in the anatomic snuffbox at the base of the thumb accompanied by swelling in the same area. These are also called navicular fractures (the scaphoid also being called the carpal navicular) as navicular is the traditional name for the scaphoid bone, although this can be confused with the navicular bone in the foot. Treatment depends on the location of the fracture.
