Written on S92 — Fracture of foot and toe, except ankle

fracture of ankle (S82.-)
fracture of malleolus (S82.-)
traumatic amputation of ankle and foot (S98.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with S92.126

M84.4Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified

Risk adjustment

S92.126 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.
