S92.065A Nondisplaced intraarticular fracture of left calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture

ICD-10-CM S92.065A: Nondisplaced intraarticular fracture of left calcaneus, initial encounter for closed fracture

ICD-10-CM code S92.065A represents an injury or poisoning concept identified as a nondisplaced intraarticular fracture of the left calcaneus for an initial encounter for a closed fracture. Calcaneus fractures are rare but potentially debilitating injuries. The sources establish the code definition and clinical context, but do not provide specific coverage or documentation rules. 1 3 4

What this code represents

ICD-10-CM code S92.065A is labeled as a nondisplaced intraarticular fracture of the left calcaneus, initial encounter for a closed fracture, and its semantic type is classified as an injury or poisoning. 3 4

Plain-language overview

Calcaneus fractures are identified in the literature as rare but potentially debilitating injuries, and the S92.065A code specifically applies to a nondisplaced intraarticular fracture of the left calcaneus. 1 3

Coding details

The code S92.065A appears in a listing alongside other specific calcaneus fracture codes, including S92.064A for the right calcaneus and S92.061A for a displaced intraarticular fracture of the right calcaneus. 4

Documentation considerations

The official label for S92.065A explicitly includes the qualifiers of nondisplaced, intraarticular, left calcaneus, and initial encounter for a closed fracture. 3 4

Clinical context

A randomized controlled trial reviewed operative versus non-operative treatment for closed, displaced, intra-articular calcaneus fractures, concluding with recommendations against operative intervention for those specific injuries. 1

What the sources add

The EVS Explore source provides the semantic type classification of injury or poisoning for S92.065A, while the Unbound Medicine source provides a code tree showing S92.065A alongside adjacent right and left calcaneus fracture codes. 3 4

The clinical literature source discusses displaced intraarticular calcaneus fractures and their treatment complications, whereas the coding sources define S92.065A as a nondisplaced fracture without providing treatment details. 1 3

Questions to verify

The supplied sources do not establish whether S92.065A is a billable code, nor do they provide payer-specific coverage guidelines or official instructions regarding the seventh character assignment. 3 4
