About coding larynx laceration
The ICD-10-CM code for larynx laceration is S11.011 (Laceration without foreign body of larynx). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S11.011.
Within S11.01, choose S11.011 (Laceration without foreign body of larynx) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration with foreign body of larynx (S11.012), puncture wound without foreign body of larynx (S11.013), puncture wound with foreign body of larynx (S11.014), open bite of larynx (S11.015) and unspecified open wound of larynx (S11.019).
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.
