S62.92XA vs S62.92XD
S62.92XA (Unspecified fracture of left hand, initial encounter for closed fracture) compared with S62.92XD (Unspecified fracture of left hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing), from the official CMS tabular data. S62.92XA and S62.92XD code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. S62.92XA and S62.92XD 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.
