About S36.113

S36.113 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for laceration of liver, unspecified degree. It belongs to category S36 (injury of intra-abdominal organs), 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 S36.11, choose S36.113 (Laceration of liver, unspecified degree) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: contusion of liver (S36.112), minor laceration of liver (S36.114), moderate laceration of liver (S36.115), major laceration of liver (S36.116), other injury of liver (S36.118) and unspecified injury of liver (S36.119).

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.
