Because the fracture line runs into the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint surface, it is more complex than a simple metacarpal shaft fracture. The usual mechanism is axial loading on a partially flexed thumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That happens most often in falls, contact sports, and motor vehicle incidents. The anterior oblique ligament holds the proximal fragment in place, while the abductor pollicis longus pulls the shaft radially and proximally. This displacement is why most Bennett&#8217;s fractures need reduction, and often surgical fixation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/industry\/sports-medicine-software\/\">sports medicine practices<\/a> managing post-surgical rehabilitation, accurate coding of every follow-up encounter is what keeps reimbursement clean. Three clinical features drive code selection here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The fracture sits at the first metacarpal base, not in the shaft<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It is intra-articular, extending into the CMC joint<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laterality is specified as right or left hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For subsequent encounter coding, the clinician has to document one more thing: The healing status at that visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-what-the-7th-character-d-means\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What the 7th character &#8216;D&#8217; means<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 7th character is the most consequential part of this code for billing. Section I.C.19 of the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting sets the 7th character extensions for traumatic fractures. Each one names the encounter type and, for follow-up visits, the healing outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:separate;border-spacing:0;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden;font-size:15px;line-height:1.5;margin:1.5em 0 2em;box-shadow:0 2px 12px rgba(0,0,0,0.08)\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">7th character<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Meaning<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#121D36;color:#fff;padding:14px 16px;text-align:left;font-weight:600;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:0.3px;border-bottom:2px solid #2BADD4\">Clinical use case<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">A<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Initial encounter, closed fracture<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Active treatment of a closed fracture, including the emergency department visit, the first surgical consultation, and perioperative care<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">B<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Initial encounter, open fracture<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Active treatment where the skin is broken over the fracture site, which needs irrigation and debridement alongside fixation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">D<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Subsequent encounter, routine healing<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Follow-up visits once active treatment is complete and healing is progressing as expected, such as cast checks and routine post-op visits<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">G<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Subsequent encounter, delayed healing<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Follow-up visits where healing is slower than expected, supported by a note that documents the delay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">K<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Subsequent encounter, nonunion<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Follow-up visits where imaging and the provider&#8217;s note confirm the fracture has failed to unite<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0;background:#F9FAFB\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">P<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Subsequent encounter, malunion<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Follow-up visits where the fracture has united in a poor position, a known risk at the thumb CMC joint<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"border-bottom:1px solid #E8ECF0\">\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#121D36\">S<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Sequela<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:12px 16px;color:#374151\">Late effects of the healed fracture, such as post-traumatic arthritis or stiffness attributable to the original injury<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seven characters are billable under S62.211, not four. A and B split the initial encounter by closed and open fracture. D, G, K and P then describe what happened to the bone afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choice between D and G is a clinical determination, not a coder&#8217;s call. The treating provider assesses and documents healing status at each visit. A coder who picks G from the length of treatment alone, with no note documenting delayed healing, risks an audit flag. When the note says healing is proceeding normally, use D. The same rule governs <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/diagnostic-codes\/icd-10-code-s62360g\/\">S62.360G<\/a> and every other delayed-healing code in this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K and P describe outcomes rather than timing. Use K once imaging confirms the fracture has not united, however long the patient has been in follow-up. Use P when it united in a poor position, which at the thumb base often shows up as stiffness or a weak pinch grip. Nonunion coding works the same way across the S62 category, as it does for <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/diagnostic-codes\/icd-10-code-s62606k\/\">S62.606K<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/icd10cmtool.cdc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CDC ICD-10-CM web tool<\/a> publishes the official tabular list and index for each fiscal year.

For a surgically treated Bennett&#8217;s fracture, that is usually the first post-operative visit. Initial-encounter coding on a neighboring wrist injury follows the same logic, as it does for <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/diagnostic-codes\/icd-10-code-s62011a\/\">S62.011A<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coding teams at <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/industry\/occupational-therapy-software\/\">occupational therapy practices<\/a> see S62.211D often, because patients arrive for hand therapy during the routine healing phase. The referring diagnosis on the therapy order supports the same D suffix on those visits.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"pro_tip\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 42\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M12.6383 19.5238C12.6632 21.2071 12.8734 22.9926 12.0685 24.5523C11.0341 26.8917 8.45076 28.169 7.56292 30.5918C6.63082 33.1061 7.19505 36.185 9.31371 37.9786C10.929 39.5678 13.4183 39.9873 15.6061 39.5463C17.4592 39.073 19.1049 37.8388 19.9706 36.1608C20.781 34.7141 20.7866 32.9904 20.5293 31.3985C20.1006 29.3092 18.3775 27.8705 16.9807 26.362C14.8814 24.1005 14.6684 20.6854 15.595 17.8915C16.4331 15.4768 19.0026 14.2344 20.0425 11.9461C20.7202 10.6769 20.7506 9.20327 20.6068 7.81304C20.1864 5.40098 18.3139 3.23631 15.8716 2.56674C13.9742 2.03969 11.8224 2.30052 10.1739 3.37614C8.70522 4.34688 7.5878 5.86618 7.28356 7.58178C6.76081 9.82981 7.53525 12.2822 9.20307 13.9118C10.7658 15.4741 12.4806 17.2273 12.6383 19.5238Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M22.7048 19.8387C22.6822 22.3279 24.4507 24.6234 26.7493 25.4682C28.0531 25.961 29.4725 25.9183 30.7989 25.5487C32.0575 24.9955 33.301 24.2237 34.0069 23.0092C34.8384 21.5811 35.2982 19.8286 34.7832 18.2094C34.3611 16.2507 32.8739 14.6541 31.0275 13.9426C28.6736 12.9595 25.8073 13.7942 24.1719 15.7001C23.2022 16.8366 22.6143 18.3326 22.7048 19.8387Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\n                <p>Document healing status explicitly in every follow-up note.

The hierarchy runs from broad to specific:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chapter 19: Injury, poisoning, and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Block S60-S69:<\/strong> Injuries to the wrist, hand, and fingers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Category S62:<\/strong> Fracture at wrist and hand level<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Subcategory S62.2:<\/strong> Fracture of first metacarpal bone<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S62.21:<\/strong> Bennett&#8217;s fracture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S62.211:<\/strong> Bennett&#8217;s fracture, right hand, not billable without a 7th character<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>S62.211D:<\/strong> Bennett&#8217;s fracture, right hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aapc.com\/codes\/icd-10-codes-range\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AAPC Codify ICD-10-CM lookup<\/a> lets you walk this hierarchy by keyword or code range. That is useful when an operative note describes the anatomy instead of naming a code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-approximate-synonyms-and-lay-terms\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Approximate synonyms and lay terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operative reports, referral letters, and client records often use clinical or lay terminology rather than the ICD-10-CM description. These synonyms all map to the S62.211 code family, so each one should send you to the S62.2 subcategory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bennett fracture (without possessive apostrophe)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bennett&#8217;s fracture-dislocation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intra-articular fracture, base of first metacarpal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Articular fracture, thumb metacarpal base<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fracture-dislocation, carpometacarpal joint of thumb<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fracture, base of thumb metacarpal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CMC fracture-dislocation, first ray<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>First metacarpal base fracture, right hand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an operative report describes a fracture at the base of the thumb without naming Bennett&#8217;s, check whether it is intra-articular. Intra-articular involvement at the first metacarpal base is the defining feature, and it maps to S62.21. An extra-articular fracture maps to a different subcategory under S62.2. If the note does not say either way, query the provider before assigning a code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For practices with a high volume of hand surgery cases, a <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/medical-forms-at-your-healthcare-practice\/\">standardized documentation approach<\/a> for operative and office notes removes most of that ambiguity.

Do not bill a surgical CPT code at a routine follow-up simply because surgery happened earlier. Each claim covers the services rendered on that date of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For current CPT descriptors and payment values, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cms.gov\/medicare\/physician-fee-schedule\/search\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CMS Physician Fee Schedule<\/a> gives rates by code, region, and payer type. Check those amounts again each January, when the new schedule takes effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-coding-guidelines-and-documentation-requirements\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coding guidelines and documentation requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines govern how subsequent encounter codes work for traumatic fractures. Five rules matter most for S62.211D:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Active care is not required for the D suffix:<\/strong> Subsequent encounter codes cover visits that are part of ongoing fracture management. The provider may only be monitoring healing. Cast checks, imaging review, and suture removal all qualify while healing is routine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Routine healing must be documented:<\/strong> The note has to show that healing is progressing normally. An absent or ambiguous healing assessment weakens audit support for S62.211D over S62.211G.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The D suffix does not mean the patient is discharged:<\/strong> One patient can have several visits coded S62.211D across the healing period. The code holds until healing is complete or the clinical picture changes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sequela coding needs a healed fracture:<\/strong> S62.211S applies when the patient presents with a late effect, such as arthritis or stiffness. The fracture itself must no longer be the active condition, which is the same test used for <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/diagnostic-codes\/icd-10-code-s62032s\/\">S62.032S<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>External cause codes are optional but useful:<\/strong> A Chapter 20 code explains how the fracture happened. It supports population health reporting, and some payers ask for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Medicare patients, CMS requires ICD-10-CM codes on all Part A and Part B claims. A missing or invalid diagnosis code causes a rejection. The official CMS guidelines remain the primary reference for code-specific questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practices processing a high volume of orthopedic follow-up claims benefit from structured documentation prompts in the note template. When the template carries a healing status field, coders get what they need without a provider query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For hand surgery practices reviewing their <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/blog\/practice-management-software\/\">practice management workflows<\/a>, a tighter coding pipeline cuts admin work for clinical staff. First-pass claim rates tend to rise at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"pro_tip\">\n            <div class=\"img\">\n                <svg width=\"42\" height=\"42\" viewBox=\"0 0 42 42\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M12.6383 19.5238C12.6632 21.2071 12.8734 22.9926 12.0685 24.5523C11.0341 26.8917 8.45076 28.169 7.56292 30.5918C6.63082 33.1061 7.19505 36.185 9.31371 37.9786C10.929 39.5678 13.4183 39.9873 15.6061 39.5463C17.4592 39.073 19.1049 37.8388 19.9706 36.1608C20.781 34.7141 20.7866 32.9904 20.5293 31.3985C20.1006 29.3092 18.3775 27.8705 16.9807 26.362C14.8814 24.1005 14.6684 20.6854 15.595 17.8915C16.4331 15.4768 19.0026 14.2344 20.0425 11.9461C20.7202 10.6769 20.7506 9.20327 20.6068 7.81304C20.1864 5.40098 18.3139 3.23631 15.8716 2.56674C13.9742 2.03969 11.8224 2.30052 10.1739 3.37614C8.70522 4.34688 7.5878 5.86618 7.28356 7.58178C6.76081 9.82981 7.53525 12.2822 9.20307 13.9118C10.7658 15.4741 12.4806 17.2273 12.6383 19.5238Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                        d=\"M22.7048 19.8387C22.6822 22.3279 24.4507 24.6234 26.7493 25.4682C28.0531 25.961 29.4725 25.9183 30.7989 25.5487C32.0575 24.9955 33.301 24.2237 34.0069 23.0092C34.8384 21.5811 35.2982 19.8286 34.7832 18.2094C34.3611 16.2507 32.8739 14.6541 31.0275 13.9426C28.6736 12.9595 25.8073 13.7942 24.1719 15.7001C23.2022 16.8366 22.6143 18.3326 22.7048 19.8387Z\"\n                        fill=\"#2BADD4\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"text\">\n                <h3>Pro Tip<\/h3>\n                <p>Audit your Bennett&#8217;s fracture claims monthly for the three most common 7th character errors. First, S62.211A left in place on visits that are clearly follow-up. Second, S62.211D used when the note documents delayed healing or a complication. Third, S62.211 submitted with no 7th character at all. Those three patterns account for most preventable denials in hand fracture billing.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-pabau-keeps-7th-character-coding-accurate\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Pabau keeps 7th character coding accurate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most practices, the healing assessment sits in the provider&#8217;s free-text note, and the coder reads it after the visit. When the wording is vague, the claim either waits for a query or goes out with the wrong 7th character. Both outcomes cost the practice time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Practice management software like Pabau puts the diagnosis and the procedure code on the same billing screen. The pairing is made once, then checked before submission. Note templates can prompt for healing status at every follow-up visit. <a href=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/features\/capture-forms-software\/\">Digital forms<\/a> capture the hand treated at the point of documentation, and that detail carries through to the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a shorter path from visit to payment. Coders stop chasing providers for a healing status, and fewer claims come back with an invalid code. Every Pabau subscription includes the full records and billing toolset, so none of this sits behind a higher tier.<\/p>\n\n\n        <div id=\"book_a_demo\">\n            <div class=\"left-side\">\n                <div class=\"logo\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/pabau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Logo.svg\"\n                        alt=\"Logo\"\n                        loading=\"lazy\"\n                    \/>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <h3 class=\"heading\">\n                    Simplify your billing workflow                <\/h3>\n\n                <p class=\"description\">\n                    Pabau connects ICD-10 diagnosis codes directly to CPT procedure codes within your billing module, helping catch coding errors before claims are submitted.

It is the wording of the follow-up note that has to support it. A provider who writes one clear line about healing status removes most of the denial risk across the whole episode of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So build that prompt into the note template rather than auditing for it later. The alternative is a coder choosing between D, G, K and P from context, and that is where a preventable rejection starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Keeping diagnosis and procedure

id=\"faq-question-1786522491291\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is ICD-10 code S62.211D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.211D is a billable ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Bennett&#8217;s fracture of the right hand at a subsequent encounter with routine healing. It is valid for FY 2026, effective October 1, 2025. Use it for follow-up visits after initial fracture treatment, once healing is progressing normally.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491292\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What does the &#8216;D&#8217; suffix mean in ICD-10 code S62.211D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The &#8216;D&#8217; denotes a subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. It applies to follow-up visits after the initial treatment phase has ended, where the documentation confirms healing is progressing as expected. It differs from &#8216;G&#8217; for delayed healing and &#8216;S&#8217; for sequela of a healed fracture.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491293\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the difference between S62.211A and S62.211D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.211A is the initial encounter code for a closed fracture, used while the fracture is actively treated. That covers the emergency department visit, the first surgical consultation, and perioperative care. S62.211D is the subsequent encounter code, used once initial treatment is complete and healing is confirmed as routine. Using A on a follow-up visit, or D on an initial treatment visit, is miscoding either way.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491297\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Which 7th characters are valid for S62.211?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Seven characters are valid: A, B, D, G, K, P and S. A and B cover initial encounters for closed and open fractures. D, G, K and P cover subsequent encounters with routine healing, delayed healing, nonunion and malunion. S covers sequela of the healed fracture.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491294\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the code for a left-hand Bennett&#8217;s fracture with routine healing?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">S62.212D is the correct code for Bennett&#8217;s fracture of the left hand, subsequent encounter for fracture with routine healing. The laterality digit changes from 1 for right to 2 for left, and every other character stays the same as S62.211D.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491295\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">When should I use S62.211G instead of S62.211D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Use S62.211G, the subsequent encounter code for delayed healing, when the provider&#8217;s note explicitly documents that healing is slower than expected. That is a clinical determination made by the treating provider. It is not a coder decision based on the number of visits or the time since injury. Without documented delayed healing, default to S62.211D when the note describes healing as normal.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1786522491296\"><h3 class=\"schema-faq-question\">What CPT codes are commonly used with S62.211D?<\/h3> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The Bennett&#8217;s fracture treatment codes are 26645 for closed treatment with manipulation, 26650 for percutaneous fixation, and 26665 for open treatment. Follow-up encounters usually pair S62.211D with an office visit code from 99213 to 99215, or with hand therapy codes from 97010 to 97530. The CPT selected must match what was documented and performed at that encounter.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>S62.211D is a billable and valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code.
