About coding prostate injury

The ICD-10-CM code for prostate injury is S37.829 (Unspecified injury of prostate). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S37.829.

Within S37.82, choose S37.829 (Unspecified injury of prostate) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: contusion of prostate (S37.822), laceration of prostate (S37.823) and other injury of prostate (S37.828).

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.
