About S10

S10 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for superficial injury of neck. It belongs to block S10-S19 (injuries to the neck) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 4 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S10.0 (throat), S10.1 (throat), S10.8 (neck) and S10.9 (neck).

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