S11.92Laceration with foreign body of unspecified part of neck

S11.92 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for laceration with foreign body of unspecified part of neck. It belongs to category S11 (open wound of neck), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within S11.9, choose S11.92 (Laceration with foreign body of unspecified part of neck) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified open wound of unspecified part of neck (S11.90), laceration without foreign body of unspecified part of neck (S11.91), puncture wound without foreign body of unspecified part of neck (S11.93), puncture wound with foreign body of unspecified part of neck (S11.94) and open bite of unspecified part of neck (S11.95).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

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