About T14.9

T14.9 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified injury. It belongs to category T14 (injury of unspecified body region), block T14 (injury of unspecified body region) 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 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within T14, choose T14.9 (Unspecified injury) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other injury of unspecified body region (T14.8).

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.
