About coding pubis fracture
The ICD-10-CM code for pubis fracture is S32.50 (Unspecified fracture of pubis). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S32.50.
Within S32.5, choose S32.50 (Unspecified fracture of pubis) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: fracture of superior rim of pubis (S32.51) and other specified fracture of pubis (S32.59).
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.
Code first: any associated spinal cord and spinal nerve injury (S34.-).
