Answer 1

The ICD-10-CM codes reported for a 16-year-old male with a closed fracture of the ulna due to a bicycle accident are S52.201A, V18.4XXA, and Y92.830.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct ICD-10-CM codes for a 16-year-old male who suffered a closed fracture of the ulna due to a fall off a bicycle in the park are S52.201A, V18.4XXA, and Y92.830. Code S52.201A denotes a closed fracture of the right ulna, not specified as displaced or nondisplaced, initial encounter for closed fracture. Code V18.4XXA indicates that the injury was due to a fall from, or off of, a pedal cycle, and it was the initial encounter. The final code, Y92.830, specifies the location of the incident, which is a public park or public garden.
