About coding larynx wound

The ICD-10-CM code for larynx wound is S11.019 (Unspecified open wound of larynx).

Within S11.01, choose S11.019 (Unspecified open wound of larynx) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration without foreign body of larynx (S11.011), 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) and open bite of larynx (S11.015).

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.
