S52.302S — Unspecified fracture of shaft of left radius, sequela
S52.302S is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for unspecified fracture of shaft of left radius, sequela. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "S" — sequela
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to all codes from category S52
- A
- initial encounter for closed fracture
- B
- initial encounter for open fracture type I or II
- C
- initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC
- D
- subsequent encounter for closed fracture with routine healing
- E
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with routine healing
- F
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with routine healing
- G
- subsequent encounter for closed fracture with delayed healing
- H
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with delayed healing
- J
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with delayed healing
- K
- subsequent encounter for closed fracture with nonunion
- M
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with nonunion
- N
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with nonunion
- P
- subsequent encounter for closed fracture with malunion
- Q
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type I or II with malunion
- R
- subsequent encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC with malunion
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S52.302S
These are not written on S52.302S, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S52.302S with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S52.302S
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S52.302S, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Other codes that can never be billed with S52.302S
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S52.302S. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S52.302S alone.
Risk adjustment
S52.302S 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
S52.302S is named in 4 Medicare coverage policies — 4 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
