About coding jejunum contusion

The ICD-10-CM code for jejunum contusion is S36.428 (Contusion of other part of small intestine).

Within S36.42, choose S36.428 (other part of small intestine) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: duodenum (S36.420) and unspecified part of small intestine (S36.429).

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.
