About K01

K01 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for embedded and impacted teeth. It belongs to block K00-K14 (diseases of oral cavity and salivary glands) and chapter 11 (diseases of the digestive system). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: K01.0 (teeth) and K01.1 (teeth).

Don't report K01 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: abnormal position of fully erupted teeth (M26.3-).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
