S32.810G — Multiple fractures of pelvis with stable disruption of pelvic ring, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
S32.810G is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for multiple fractures of pelvis with stable disruption of pelvic ring, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "G" — subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing
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 S32.810G
These are not written on S32.810G, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S32.810G with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S32.810G
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S32.810G, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S32.810G
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S32.810G. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S32.810G alone.
Risk adjustment
S32.810G 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
S32.810G is named in 9 Medicare coverage policies — 9 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
