About coding neck contusion
The ICD-10-CM code for neck contusion is S10.93 (Contusion of unspecified part of neck). The official index lists 2 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S10.93.
Within S10.9, choose S10.93 (Contusion of unspecified part of neck) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified superficial injury of unspecified part of neck (S10.90), abrasion of unspecified part of neck (S10.91), Blister (nonthermal) of unspecified part of neck (S10.92), external constriction of unspecified part of neck (S10.94), superficial foreign body of unspecified part of neck (S10.95), insect bite of unspecified part of neck (S10.96) and other superficial bite of unspecified part of neck (S10.97).
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.
