S32.309S

S32.309S — Unspecified fracture of unspecified ilium, sequela

Billable / specific codeICD-10-CMPOA exempt

S32.309S is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for unspecified fracture of unspecified ilium, sequela. It is valid for submission on a claim.

7th character "S" — sequela

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S32

A: initial encounter for closed fracture
B: initial encounter for open fracture
D: subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing
G: subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
K: subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion
S: sequela

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S32.309S

These are not written on S32.309S, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S32.309S with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on S32.3 — Fracture of ilium

fracture of ilium with associated disruption of pelvic ring (S32.8-)

Written on S32 — Fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis

transection of abdomen (S38.3)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S32.309S

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S32.309S, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on S32 — Fracture of lumbar spine and pelvis

fracture of hip NOS (S72.0-)

Other codes that can never be billed with S32.309S

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S32.309S. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S32.309S alone.

M48.5Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classified
M84.3Stress fracture
M84.4Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

S32.309S does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Medicare coverage

S32.309S is named in 2 Medicare coverage policies — 2 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
