What This Code Means

S62 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fracture at wrist and hand level. S62 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (s00-t88), within the section covering injuries to the wrist, hand and fingers (s60-s69).

Header codes like S62 cannot be reported on claims directly; they organize child codes that share clinical context. Coders should select the billable child code that matches the documented presentation and then verify its current source-backed HCC mapping. Do not infer a child code or risk adjustment value from the header alone.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, source-labeled coefficient references, and MEAT documentation criteria for S62 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

Excludes 1, Do NOT code together

traumatic amputation of wrist and hand (S68.-)

Excludes 2, Not included here, may code separately

fracture of distal parts of ulna and radius (S52.-)
