S32.613A vs S32.613G

S32.613A (Displaced avulsion fracture of unspecified ischium, initial encounter for closed fracture) compared with S32.613G (Displaced avulsion fracture of unspecified ischium, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing), from the official CMS tabular data. S32.613A and S32.613G code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.

Encounter relationship

S32.613A

Initial encounter

Displaced avulsion fracture of unspecified ischium, initial encounter for closed fracture

↔

S32.613G

Subsequent encounter

Displaced avulsion fracture of unspecified ischium, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing

Same underlying diagnosis, different encounter phase.

The 7th character records the phase of care for the encounter being coded, so a single encounter takes one of these characters, not several. Review whether both phases belong on the same episode of care.

Can these codes be reported together?

Same injury, other encounter phase. S32.613A and S32.613G code the same injury at a different phase of treatment, set by the 7th character.

The 7th character records the type of care given at the encounter being coded (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.C.19.a), so one encounter takes one of these, not both.
