ICD-10 code for injury

T14.90

Injury, unspecified

Header — needs a more specific code

From the official ICD-10-CM alphabetic index entry “Injury”. Page updated September 29, 2026.

About coding injury

The ICD-10-CM code for injury is T14.90 (Injury, unspecified). The official index lists 190+ more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T14.90.

Within T14.9, choose T14.90 (Injury, unspecified) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: suicide attempt (T14.91).

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 changed in FY2018 (expanded into subcodes).
