About coding neck dislocation
The ICD-10-CM code for neck dislocation is S13.20 (Dislocation of unspecified parts of neck). The official index lists 1 more specific code, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S13.20.
Within S13.2, choose S13.20 (unspecified parts of neck) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: other parts of neck (S13.29).
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.
