About coding hip wound

The ICD-10-CM code for hip wound is S71.00 (Unspecified open wound of hip).

Within S71.0, choose S71.00 (Unspecified open wound of hip) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of hip (S71.01), laceration with foreign body of hip (S71.02), puncture wound without foreign body of hip (S71.03), puncture wound with foreign body of hip (S71.04) and open bite of hip (S71.05).

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.
