Closed fracture (also called simple fracture). The bone is broken, but the skin is intact.
The general consensus is to use the fracture care codes designated as “closed treatment without manipulation” and bill the initial E/M with modifier 57.
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character extension for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.
However, coders should not code Z91. 81 as a primary diagnosis unless there is no other alternative, as this code is from the “Factors Influencing Health Status and Contact with Health Services,” similar to the V-code section from ICD-9.

A traumatic fracture occurs when significant or extreme force is applied to a bone. Examples include broken bones caused by impacts from a fall or car accident, and those caused by forceful overextension, such as a twisting injury that may cause an ankle fracture. Traumatic fractures may be nondisplaced or displaced.
Coding of a sequela requires reporting of the condition or nature of the sequela sequenced first, followed by the sequela (7th character "S") code. Examples of sequela (7th character "S") diagnosis codes included in this policy: M48. 40XS (Fatigue fracture of vertebra, site unspecified, sequela of fracture)

ICD stands for International Classification of Diseases. ICD-10 is the tenth revision, clinical modification, of this system. This framework is used by medical professionals, physicians, and other healthcare providers in order to code the healthcare services (including symptoms, examination, diagnosis, treatment, and the procedures performed) provided by them in the United States. ICD-10-CM is a coding system authorized and published by WHO (World Health Organization) and is based on the International Classification of Diseases, similar to its predecessor, ICD-9-CM.
ICD-10-CM codes provide more detailed information of a patient’s condition. ICD-9 codes didn’t have the capacity to expand as most of the categories in this framework were already full. Based on which the ICD-10-CM coding system was launched, it provides more detailed and specific information than that of ICD-9-CM. ICD-10-CM codes are alphanumeric unlike the ICD-9-CM code set, containing about 3 to 7 characters e.g., S62.0; ICD-10-CM code for fracture of scaphoid bone of the wrist 2022.
The ICD-10 code set was basically created to match the pace of change in healthcare technology and advancement in treatments. It contains a total of about over 70,000 codes. ICD-10-CM codes are classified into various sub-categories. There are two major classifications of the ICD-10 coding system used these days,
