About S11
S11 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for open wound 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 5 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S11.0 (trachea), S11.1 (gland), S11.2 (esophagus), S11.8 (neck) and S11.9 (neck).
The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of S11, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: open fracture of vertebra (S12.- with 7th character B).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
