About S36.89
S36.89 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for injury of other intra-abdominal organs. 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.
Within S36.8, choose S36.89 (other intra-abdominal organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: peritoneum (S36.81).
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.
