Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S12 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the nine child codes of S12 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of cervical vertebra and other parts of neck' in more detail.
The ICD code S12 is used to code Cervical fracture. A cervical fracture, commonly called a broken neck, is a catastrophic fracture of any of the seven cervical vertebrae in the neck. Examples of common causes in humans are traffic collisions and diving into shallow water. Abnormal movement of neck bones or pieces of bone can cause ...
