Excludes1 inherited from the categories above S63.652S

These are not written on S63.652S, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing S63.652S with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on S63.6 — Other and unspecified sprain of finger(s)

traumatic rupture of ligament of finger at metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joint(s) (S63.4-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above S63.652S

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of S63.652S, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on S63 — Dislocation and sprain of joints and ligaments at wrist and hand level

strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of wrist and hand (S66.-)

Risk adjustment

S63.652S 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

S63.652S is named in 6 Medicare coverage policies — 6 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
