About S19.9
S19.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury of neck. It belongs to category S19 (other specified and unspecified injuries 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 S19, choose S19.9 (Unspecified injury of neck) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other specified injuries of neck (S19.8).
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.
