Nonunion (K) means bony bridging has stopped and the fracture line persists on imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malunion (P) means the fracture healed in an incorrect position.

All sibling codes share that anatomy, and only the encounter type changes. The table above lists all seven valid siblings. For a nondisplaced fracture in the same location, the base code is S62.660 instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For left index finger equivalents, the series starts at S62.631.

The encounter type follows the phase of care rather than the patient&rsquo;s status as new or established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active treatment (use A or B):<\/strong> Any visit where the provider is actively treating the fracture. That covers the initial emergency visit, surgical fixation, and follow-up visits involving reduction or casting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Routine subsequent care (use D):<\/strong> Visits after active treatment is complete, where the fracture is healing as expected. Cast removal, pin removal, and physical therapy referrals all sit here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delayed healing (use G):<\/strong> The fracture is healing but more slowly than clinically expected. Imaging must document ongoing healing progress, even if slower than normal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nonunion (use K):<\/strong> The fracture has ceased to heal. Imaging shows no progression of bony bridging over a period that should have been sufficient for healing. Physician documentation of nonunion is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Malunion (use P):<\/strong> The fracture healed in a mechanically or anatomically incorrect position.

Authorization for further imaging, surgical consultation, and extended therapy all depend on the nonunion code being in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practices that capture injury history and prior treatment at every visit through <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/features\/patient-intake-software\/\">digital intake forms<\/a> keep that documentation retrievable at coding time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-clinical-documentation-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clinical documentation requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S62.630K requires specific elements in the clinical record. A note that says \u00ab\u00a0fracture follow-up\u00a0\u00bb is not sufficient. Payers auditing nonunion claims look for six documentation anchors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Laterality:<\/strong> The note must explicitly state \u00ab\u00a0right\u00a0\u00bb index finger. \u00ab\u00a0Index finger\u00a0\u00bb without laterality defaults to unspecified and cannot support S62.630K.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fracture type:<\/strong> \u00ab\u00a0Displaced fracture\u00a0\u00bb must appear. If the fracture was initially displaced and subsequent imaging confirms the position has not corrected, the original displacement characterization typically carries forward.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Anatomical level:<\/strong> \u00ab\u00a0Distal phalanx\u00a0\u00bb must be identified. Proximal or middle phalanx fractures use different code families.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digit specificity:<\/strong> \u00ab\u00a0Index finger\u00a0\u00bb or \u00ab\u00a0second digit\u00a0\u00bb must be documented. Generic \u00ab\u00a0finger fracture\u00a0\u00bb is insufficient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encounter type justification:<\/strong> The note must confirm the patient is beyond the active treatment phase. Dates of original injury and any surgical procedures help establish the episode timeline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nonunion confirmation:<\/strong> The physician must explicitly state nonunion, typically supported by imaging findings.

If imaging shows a nondisplaced fracture and the physician notes it as such, S62.660K is the correct nonunion code. Using S62.630K for a documented nondisplaced fracture is an error that gets flagged on audit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-ms-drg-groupings-for-s62-630k\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">MS-DRG groupings for S62.630K<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S62.630K is grouped within Medicare Severity Diagnosis Related Groups (MS-DRGs) for inpatient billing under CMS. The specific DRG assignment depends on the presence of complicating or comorbid conditions (CC) and major complicating conditions (MCC). According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aapc.com\/codes\/icd-10-codes-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AAPC ICD-10-CM coding reference<\/a>, S62.630K falls within the musculoskeletal injury DRG groupings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For outpatient and physician billing, MS-DRG grouping does not apply directly. S62.630K maps instead to standard APC (Ambulatory Payment Classification) groupings for outpatient hospital claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare\/payment\/prospective-payment-systems\/acute-inpatient-pps\/ms-drg-classifications-and-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CMS MS-DRG grouper files<\/a> carry the current classifications for inpatient verification.

id=\"faq-question-1786603631774\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is ICD-10 code S62.630K?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.630K is a billable ICD-10-CM code for a displaced fracture of the distal phalanx of the right index finger. It applies at a subsequent encounter where the fracture shows nonunion. The code is accepted for HIPAA-covered transactions, and the current edition runs through September 30, 2026.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786603631775\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">When should you use S62.630K vs S62.630A?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use S62.630A for the first encounter when active fracture treatment is being provided, including the initial injury visit, closed reduction, or surgical fixation. Use S62.630K only after active treatment has ended and the patient returns with documented nonunion on imaging. Using A for follow-up visits after active treatment is complete is a coding error that invites audit.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786603631776\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is fracture nonunion and how is it coded in ICD-10?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Fracture nonunion means the fracture has stopped progressing toward bony union despite adequate healing time. In ICD-10-CM fracture coding, the 7th character K captures nonunion across all applicable fracture codes. The physician must explicitly document nonunion before the K character can be assigned. Imaging showing a persistent fracture line and no callus formation is the usual support.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786603631777\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Is S62.630K a billable ICD-10-CM code?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes. S62.630K is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM diagnosis code accepted on HIPAA-covered transactions. It has been in the code set since October 1, 2015, and the current edition runs through September 30, 2026. You can report it on its own, with no more specific child code needed.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786603631778\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between S62.630D and S62.630K?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.630D covers a subsequent encounter where the fracture is healing routinely. S62.630K covers a subsequent encounter where the fracture has failed to heal and nonunion is confirmed. The distinction needs imaging evidence and explicit physician documentation. Coders cannot infer nonunion from the number of elapsed visits.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786603631779\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What MS-DRG does S62.630K fall under?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.630K groups into musculoskeletal injury MS-DRGs for inpatient billing. The specific DRG number and weight depend on complicating or comorbid conditions. Those groupings update annually with the CMS IPPS final rule. Check the current assignment against the CMS MS-DRG grouper file for the applicable fiscal year.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S62.630K covers a displaced distal
