About coding liver laceration
The ICD-10-CM code for liver laceration is S36.113 (Laceration of liver, unspecified degree). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S36.113.
Within S36.11, choose S36.113 (Laceration of liver, unspecified degree) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: contusion of liver (S36.112), minor laceration of liver (S36.114), moderate laceration of liver (S36.115), major laceration of liver (S36.116), other injury of liver (S36.118) and unspecified injury of liver (S36.119).
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.
