About coding urethra sphincter injury
The ICD-10-CM code for urethra sphincter injury is S37.30 (Unspecified injury of urethra). The official index lists 4 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S37.30.
Within S37.3, choose S37.30 (Unspecified injury of urethra) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: contusion of urethra (S37.32), laceration of urethra (S37.33) and other injury of urethra (S37.39).
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.
