About S14
S14 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of nerves and spinal cord at neck level. 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S14.0 (cord), S14.1 (cord), S14.2 (spine), S14.3 (plexus), S14.4 (neck), S14.5 (nerves), S14.8 (neck) and S14.9 (neck).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
