ICD-10 code for Nape abrasion

The ICD-10-CM code for Nape abrasion is S10.81 (Abrasion of other specified part of neck).

Within S10.8, choose S10.81 (Abrasion of other specified part of neck) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified superficial injury of other specified part of neck (S10.80), Blister (nonthermal) of other specified part of neck (S10.82), contusion of other specified part of neck (S10.83), external constriction of other specified part of neck (S10.84), superficial foreign body of other specified part of neck (S10.85), insect bite of other specified part of neck (S10.86) and other superficial bite of other specified part of neck (S10.87).

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.
