Non-billable headerICD-10-CMright
S82.421 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for displaced transverse fracture of shaft of right fibula. 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

Risk adjustment
S82.421 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.
