Coding for a Non-Displaced Closed Fracture of the Middle Cuneiform RF
What is the correct ICD-10 code for a non displaced closed fracture of the middle cuneiform of the right foot? The only diagnosis code I can find are unspecified tarsal bone...but I thought ICD.10 was supposed to be specific, why can't I find a more specific code?
The specific ICD code for the condition listed below is S92.234 (non-displaced fracture of intermediate cuneiform of right foot). This diagnosis code does require a seventh character, which can be one of the following:
- A: Initial treatment for closed fracture
- D: Subsequent treatment for closed fracture, routine healing
- G: Subsequent treatment for closed fracture, delayed healing
- K: Subsequent treatment for fracture with non-union
- P: Subsequent treatment for fracture with mal-union
- S: Subsequent treatment for closed fracture, sequela
