About coding vulva injury

The ICD-10-CM code for vulva injury is S39.94 (Unspecified injury of external genitals). The official index lists 15 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S39.94.

Within S39.9 (unspecified injury of abdomen, lower back, pelvis and external genitals), S39.94 is specifically for unspecified injury of external genitals. Related codes cover abdomen (S39.91), lower back (S39.92) and pelvis (S39.93).

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.
