About S70.02

S70.02 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contusion of left hip. It belongs to category S70 (superficial injury of hip and thigh), block S70-S79 (injuries to the hip and thigh) 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 S70.0 (contusion of hip), S70.02 is specifically for contusion of left hip. Related codes cover unspecified hip (S70.00) and right hip (S70.01).

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.
