Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S32.82XB
These are not written on S32.82XB, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S32.82XB with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S32.82XB
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S32.82XB, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S32.82XB
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S32.82XB. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S32.82XB alone.
Risk adjustment
S32.82XB risk-adjusts. Under the CMS-HCC V28 model it maps to this category:
- HCC 402 Hip Fracture/Dislocation0.467 RAF
Coefficient shown for the Community Non-dual Aged segment. A higher HCC in the same hierarchy will suppress this one, so capturing it does not always add score.
