About S14.152S
S14.152S is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other incomplete lesion at C2 level of cervical spinal cord, sequela. It belongs to category S14 (injury of nerves and spinal cord at neck level), block S10-S19 (injuries to the neck) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "S" means sequela: use it for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 052 (Spinal Disorders and Injuries with CC/MCC, relative weight 1.7837) and DRG 053 (Spinal Disorders and Injuries without CC/MCC, relative weight 0.9728), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 907.2 (late effect of spinal cord injury).
