S32.461D vs S32.462D
S32.461D (Displaced associated transverse-posterior fracture of right acetabulum, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing) compared with S32.462D (Displaced associated transverse-posterior fracture of left acetabulum, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing), from the official CMS tabular data. S32.461D and S32.462D code the same condition on opposite sides.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same condition, opposite side. S32.461D and S32.462D name the same condition on opposite sides of the body.
Same category and title, differing only in which side is affected — the documentation decides which one applies, and a bilateral code is reported only where the code set provides one.
