Non-billable headerICD-10-CMright

S62.141 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for displaced fracture of body of hamate [unciform] bone, right wrist. 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.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S62

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
P: subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion
S: sequela

Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S62.141

These are not written on S62.141, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S62.141 with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on S62 — Fracture at wrist and hand level

traumatic amputation of wrist and hand (S68.-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S62.141

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S62.141, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on S62.1 — Fracture of other and unspecified carpal bone(s)

fracture of scaphoid of wrist (S62.0-)

Written on S62 — Fracture at wrist and hand level

fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with S62.141

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at S62.141. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading S62.141 alone.

M84.3Stress fracture
M84.4Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified
S61Open wound of wrist, hand and fingers

Risk adjustment

S62.141 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.

Code history

S62.141 has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
