About coding mesentery contusion

The ICD-10-CM code for mesentery contusion is S36.892 (Contusion of other intra-abdominal organs).

Within S36.89, choose S36.892 (Contusion of other intra-abdominal organs) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: laceration of other intra-abdominal organs (S36.893), other injury of other intra-abdominal organs (S36.898) and unspecified injury of other intra-abdominal organs (S36.899).

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.
