A diagnosis appearing in a group's logic does not by itself determine the DRG assigned to a stay; the grouper uses the full claim.
Coding instructions
Official Tabular Instructional Notes: the inclusion, exclusion and sequencing notes published for S62.012B in the official ICD-10-CM tabular list, quoted as published.
Notes without a marker are published on S62.012B itself; “inherited from” names the category or block whose note applies here.
Excludes1 — Not Coded Here
Conditions generally not reported together with this code (Excludes1) -- an error unless the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).

7th Character Guide
"The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S62"
- A — initial encounter for closed fracture
- B — initial encounter for open fracture (this page’s code)
- D — subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
- G — subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
- K — subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
- P — subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
- S — sequela
How the encounter character is assigned. “Initial encounter” means the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition — it is not limited to the first visit, and a different or new provider giving active treatment still assigns it. “Subsequent encounter” covers care during the healing or recovery phase after active treatment. “Sequela” is for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.
ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting, Section I.C.19.a (paraphrased by MedCoder).

Character meanings are CMS's official 7th-character extensions for this family, as carried in each variant code's official description; variant codes are registry rows. The explanation of how the encounter character is assigned is MedCoder editorial, distinct from the official content above it.
Coder workflow for S62.012B
MedCoder structured workflow — derived from this code’s own official record
Before you code S62.012B
- A 7th character is required in this family. Confirm the documented encounter: initial (active treatment), subsequent (healing or recovery phase), or sequela. This page’s code carries “B”. “Initial” means active treatment, not the first visit (Guidelines I.C.19.a).
See the 7th Character Guide · Guide: 7th characters: initial, subsequent, sequela →
- Laterality is coded in this family. Confirm the side documented — right, left, or bilateral — and select the matching code (this page’s code: left). The unspecified-side code applies only when the record states no side. Laterality is assigned from the documented side; where a bilateral code exists and both sides are documented, it is used instead of two unilateral codes (Guidelines I.B.13).
- Confirm the injury type, the anatomical site at the most specific level documented, laterality where the family codes it, and the encounter for the 7th character. Each injury is coded separately unless the classification provides a combination code, and a superficial injury is not coded when a more severe injury of the same site is documented. A fracture not documented as open or closed is coded as closed; one not documented as displaced or nondisplaced is coded as displaced. Injury chapter guidelines (Guidelines I.C.19.b, I.C.19.b.1, I.C.19.c).
- Check the Excludes1 note: if the documentation supports a condition named there, do not simply proceed with S62.012B. Excludes1 conditions are not reported together with this code unless the record shows they are unrelated (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
Choose the right path
- Does the documentation support a condition named in S62.012B’s Excludes1 note?
Yes → Do not simply proceed: review the excluded code. Both are reported only when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated.
No → Continue.ReviewS68
- Is the side documented?
Yes → Select the code for the documented side (or the bilateral code when both sides are documented and one exists).
No → Use the unspecified-side code only when the record states no side; a query is the alternative. - Is the encounter phase documented — active treatment, healing or recovery, or a sequela?
Yes → Assign the matching 7th character; the variant codes are in the 7th Character Guide.
No → The code is invalid without its 7th character — query for the missing element.
Consider S62.012B. Then confirm the code is valid for the date of service in the Verify section.
Documentation check
- The provider’s diagnostic statement
- Codes are assigned from the provider’s documented diagnosis, not from clinical criteria, test values or a medication list (Guidelines I.A.19).
- Anatomical site
- At the most specific level the record states; a site the classification separates cannot be assumed from a procedure or a measurement.
- Laterality
- Right, left or bilateral as documented; unspecified only when the record states no side (Guidelines I.B.13).
- Encounter type
- Active treatment, healing or recovery phase, or sequela — the basis of the 7th character (Guidelines I.C.19.a).
- Open or closed; displaced or nondisplaced
- Defaults apply when the record is silent: closed, and displaced (Guidelines I.C.19.c).
- External cause, place and activity
- For the external cause codes reported with the injury or poisoning, where documented (Guidelines I.C.20.a).
Official instructions as workflow
Excludes1 — check before selecting S62.012B(1 note)
Coding workflow: If the documentation supports a condition named in this note, do not simply proceed with S62.012B: the two are not reported together. The one exception is when the record shows the two conditions are unrelated to each other.
CompareS68
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.a
Excludes2 — not part of S62.012B(4 notes)
Coding workflow: The conditions named in this note are not included in S62.012B. When the record documents both, both may be reported; the note is a boundary, not a prohibition.
See the official tabular notes · Guidelines I.A.12.b
Coding decision scenarios
Pattern scenarios for this code’s structure — decision rules, not clinical cases
Documentation: Both the condition S62.012B describes and a condition named in its Excludes1 note are documented for the same encounter.
Coding question: Can both codes be reported?
Path: Review the Excludes1 note and the excluded code, and look for a provider statement on whether the two conditions are related.
Reason: Excludes1 means the two are not coded together; the exception is when the record shows the conditions are unrelated to each other (Guidelines I.A.12.a).
ReviewS68
Documentation: The patient returns during the healing or recovery phase after active treatment of the same condition.
Coding question: Which 7th character applies?
Path: Review the official 7th-character definitions for this family in the 7th Character Guide.
Reason: “Initial encounter” means active treatment, not the first visit; care during recovery takes “subsequent encounter”, and a complication arising from the original condition takes “sequela” (Guidelines I.C.19.a).
Documentation: The record documents the condition on one side only.
Coding question: Which code in this family applies?
Path: Select the sibling code for the documented side.
Reason: Laterality is assigned from the documented side; the unspecified-side code is for records that state no side (Guidelines I.B.13).
Every row is derived from this code’s own record — its title, tabular notes, 7th-character family and same-category siblings — with fixed MedCoder wording; nothing is inferred about a patient. The official notes and guideline text are in the sections each row links to, and they control.

Chapter 19: Injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
c. Coding of Traumatic Fractures The principles of multiple coding of injuries should be followed in coding fractures. Fractures of specified sites are coded individually by site in accordance with both the provisions within categories S02, S12, S22, S32, S42, S49, S52, S59, S62, S72, S79, S82, S89, S92 and the level of detail furnished by medical record content.
Decision Points
The directives on this code's own record, as a pre-claim checklist.
- A 7th character applies in this family. Confirm the documented encounter matches the character assigned. See the official 7th-character definitions and this code’s variants
- Laterality is coded in this family. Confirm the documented side matches the code — the opposite-side siblings are in the relationships section. See the opposite-side sibling codes
- 1 Excludes1 entry — codes named there are generally not reported together with this code (Guidelines I.A.12.a). See the Excludes1 notes
- 4 Excludes2 entries — those conditions are not part of this code and may be reported additionally when documented. See the Excludes2 notes
