S02.602A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Fracture of unspecified part of body of left mandible, init The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S02.602A became effective on October 1, 2020.
1. Open reduction internal fixation of left mandibular angle fracture - CPT code 21470 2. Open reduction internal fixation of right parasymphysis mandibular fracture - CPT code 21461 The doctor wants to use both codes for the surgery. But from my research, it looks like I can use the CPT code 21470, that will include both fractures.
Mandible (lower jaw) fracture ICD-10-CM S02.609A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 011 Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses or laryngectomy with mcc 012 Tracheostomy for face, mouth and neck diagnoses or laryngectomy with cc
The doctor wants to use both codes for the surgery. But from my research, it looks like I can use the CPT code 21470, that will include both fractures. Plus, 21461 is inclusive with 21470.

Mandibular fracture, also known as fracture of the jaw, is a break through the mandibular bone. In about 60% of cases the break occurs in two places. It may result in a decreased ability to fully open the mouth. Often the teeth will not feel properly aligned or there may be bleeding of the gums.
Coding Guideline B3. 15 states “Reduction of a displaced fracture is coded to the root operation, Reposition. Treatment of a nondisplaced fracture is coded to the procedure performed.” Index: Reposition.

Nonautologous Tissue Substitute (K)—bone is harvested by a tissue bank from a cadaver. Synthetic Substitute (J)—examples include demineralized bone matrix, synthetic bone graft extenders, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP)
Closed Reduction The two terms refer to the same method of fixation, but the former is a vestige from a time when the mandible was considered the lower maxilla, and thus fixation occurred in an “intermaxillary” fashion.
Mandibular fractures can be classified in relation to their anatomic localisation (Fig. 1) as follows: symphysis/parasymphysis (30–50%), horizontal branch (21–36%), angle (15–26%), ramus (2–4%), condyle (20–26%), and coronoid process (1–2%).
The classification proposed is: Class I; condyle, II; angle, IIc; II+condyle, III; body/symphysis, IIIc; III+condyle, IV; multiple fractures not including condyle, IVc; IV+condyle, V; bilateral condyle±other fracture(s).

During an open reduction, orthopedic surgeons reposition the pieces of your fractured bone surgically so that your bones are back in their proper alignment. In a closed reduction, a doctor physically moves the bones back into place without surgically exposing the bone.
Open approach is cutting through the skin or mucous membrane and any other body layers necessary to expose the site of the procedure. If procedures are performed using the open approach with percutaneous endoscopic assistance or hand-assisted laparoscopy they are coded as open.
