ICD Code S82.63 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'disp fx of lateral malleolus of unspecified fibula' 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 S82.63XA initial encounter
B S82.63XB initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
C S82.63XC initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
D S82.63XD subsequent encounter
E S82.63XE subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
F S82.63XF subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
G S82.63XG subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
H S82.63XH subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
J S82.63XJ subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
K S82.63XK subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
M S82.63XM subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
N S82.63XN subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion
P S82.63XP subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
Q S82.63XQ subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
R S82.63XR subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion
S S82.63XS 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

The ICD code S826 is used to code Wagstaffe-Le Fort avulsion fracture

Le Fort's fracture of the ankle is a vertical fracture of the antero-medial part of the distal fibula with avulsion of the anterior tibiofibular ligament, opposite to a Tillaux-Chaput avulsion fracture
