About coding spleen traumatic rupture
The ICD-10-CM code for spleen traumatic rupture is S36.09 (Other injury of spleen). The official index lists 5 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S36.09.
Within S36.0, choose S36.09 (Other injury of spleen) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified injury of spleen (S36.00), contusion of spleen (S36.02) and laceration of spleen (S36.03).
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.
