S32.615K vs S32.616K
S32.615K (Nondisplaced avulsion fracture of left ischium, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion) compared with S32.616K (Nondisplaced avulsion fracture of unspecified ischium, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion), from the official CMS tabular data. S32.615K and S32.616K code the same condition on opposite sides.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same condition, opposite side. S32.615K and S32.616K 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.
