S62.30Unspecified fracture of other metacarpal bone

S62.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified fracture of other metacarpal bone. It belongs to category S62 (fracture at wrist and hand level), block S60-S69 (injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers) 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 10 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S62.3, choose S62.30 (Unspecified fracture of other metacarpal bone) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: displaced fracture of base of other metacarpal bone (S62.31), displaced fracture of shaft of other metacarpal bone (S62.32), displaced fracture of neck of other metacarpal bone (S62.33), nondisplaced fracture of base of other metacarpal bone (S62.34), nondisplaced fracture of shaft of other metacarpal bone (S62.35), nondisplaced fracture of neck of other metacarpal bone (S62.36) and other fracture of other metacarpal bone (S62.39).

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, P for subsequent encounter for fracture with malunion and 1 more. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
