About S02.601

S02.601 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture of unspecified part of body of right mandible. It belongs to category S02 (fracture of skull and facial bones), block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 6 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S02.60, choose S02.601 (unspecified part of body of right mandible) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified part of body of mandible, unspecified side (S02.600), unspecified part of body of left mandible (S02.602) and mandible, unspecified (S02.609).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter for closed fracture, B for initial encounter for open fracture, D for subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing, G for subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing, K for subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
