What Right Should Dislocation ICD-10 Codes Can I Use?
If you’re looking for Right Shoulder Dislocation ICD codes, there’s much to pick from. We picked six examples to give you an idea of what to expect when browsing for them. Here they are:
- S43.004A - Unspecified dislocation of right shoulder joint, initial encounter
This ICD-10 code is meant for patients confirmed to have a right shoulder dislocation, but it’s not identified or known if it's an anterior or posterior dislocation. Once you’ve confirmed their kind of dislocation, please use a more specific ICD-10 code.
This also comes with an initial encounter label, meaning the patient receives active treatment for their right shoulder dislocation.
- S43.004D - Unspecified dislocation of right shoulder joint, subsequent encounter
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, there’s a subsequent encounter label, which means the patient is in the recovery phase and is still being given active/routine treatment for their dislocation.
- S43.004S - Unspecified dislocation of right shoulder joint, sequela
This is the same as Item 1, but there’s a sequela label this time, which means the patient is dealing with the aftereffects of the dislocation. Given this, this ICD-10 code should be accompanied by two other ICD-10 codes, one of which should designate the sequela’s nature, while the other should describe the sequela (meaning its effects).
- S43.014A - Anterior dislocation of right humerus, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 1, but this time, it’s confirmed that the patient has an anterior right shoulder dislocation.
- S43.024A - Posterior dislocation of right humerus, initial encounter
This is similar to Item 1, but this time, it’s confirmed that the patient has a posterior dislocation of their right shoulder.
- M24.411 - Recurrent dislocation, right shoulder
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on patients confirmed to have recurrent dislocations on their right shoulder.
Please note that Items 4 to 5 have variants with subsequent encounter and sequela labels. If you see an ICD-10 code with an initial encounter, you can expect it to have variants with the other two labels.
