Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to S37: its own notes plus those printed at block S30-S39 and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

  • The chapter uses the S-section for coding different types of injuries related to single body regions and the T-section to cover injuries to unspecified body regions as well as poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes.

Patient EducationClinical

Kidney Diseases

You have two kidneys, each about the size of your fist. They are near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney there are about a million tiny structures called nephrons. They filter your blood. They remove wastes and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters.

Questions About S37Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for injury of urinary and pelvic organs?

S37 is the ICD-10-CM category for injury of urinary and pelvic organs, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is S37 (Injury of urinary and pelvic organs) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for injury of urinary and pelvic organs, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for injury of urinary and pelvic organs need a more specific code from this category, such as S37.001A, S37.001D, and S37.001S.

Can S37 be reported with a code from O71?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on S37 lists "obstetric trauma to pelvic organs (O71.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
