S30.0Contusion of lower back and pelvis

S30.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contusion of lower back and pelvis. It belongs to category S30 (superficial injury of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), block S30-S39 (injuries to the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine, pelvis and external genitals) 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 S30 (superficial injury of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), S30.0 is specifically for contusion of lower back and pelvis. Related codes cover contusion of abdominal wall (S30.1), contusion of external genital organs (S30.2), contusion of anus (S30.3), other superficial injuries of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals (S30.8) and unspecified superficial injury of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals (S30.9).

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.
