S52.516 — Nondisplaced fracture of unspecified radial styloid process
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
S52.516 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for nondisplaced fracture of unspecified radial styloid process. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

- 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

Risk adjustment
S52.516 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.
