S71.019Laceration without foreign body, unspecified hip

S71.019 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for laceration without foreign body, unspecified hip. It belongs to category S71 (open wound 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 S71.01, choose S71.019 (unspecified hip) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: right hip (S71.011) and left hip (S71.012).

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.
