S92.902G is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified fracture of left foot, subsequent encounter for fracture with delayed healing. The code S92.902G is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code S92.902G might also be used to specify conditions or terms like closed fracture of left foot, closed fracture of sesamoid bone of foot, closed fracture of sesamoid bone of left foot, disorder of sesamoid bone of foot or open fracture of left foot. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.#N#S92.902 G is a subsequent encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used after the patient has completed active treatment for a condition like unspecified fracture of left foot for fracture with delayed healing. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines a "subsequent encounter" occurs when the patient is receiving routine care for the condition during the healing or recovery phase of treatment. Subsequent diagnosis codes are appropriate during the recovery phase, no matter how many times the patient has seen the provider for this condition. If the provider needs to adjust the patient's care plan due to a setback or other complication, the encounter becomes active again.#N#Unspecified diagnosis codes like S92.902G are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.
Each of your feet has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 tendons, muscles, and ligaments. No wonder a lot of things can go wrong. Here are a few common problems:
A fracture is a break, usually in a bone. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it is called an open or compound fracture. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Other causes are low bone density and osteoporosis, which cause weakening of the bones.
A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed. A fracture not indicated whether displaced or not displaced should be coded to displaced.
