ICD Code S62.618 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'displaced fracture of proximal phalanx of other finger' in more detail. The 7th characters that can be added, and the resulting billable codes, are as follows:

7th Digit Billable Code 7th Digit Specifies
A S62.618A initial encounter
B S62.618B initial encounter for open fracture
D S62.618D subsequent encounter
G S62.618G subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
K S62.618K subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
P S62.618P subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
S S62.618S sequela

What is 7th Character Extension?

For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier. T67.4XXA Initial Encounter or T67.4XXD Subsequent Encounter. More Info
