Code Classification

  • Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes
    (S00–T88)
    • Injuries involving multiple body regions
      (T07)
      • Unspecified multiple injuries
        (T07)

T07.XXXA is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of unspecified multiple injuries, initial encounter. The code is valid during the current fiscal year for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions from October 01, 2023 through September 30, 2024.

T07.XXXA is an initial encounter code, includes a 7th character and should be used while the patient is receiving active treatment for a condition like unspecified multiple injuries. According to ICD-10-CM Guidelines an "initial encounter" doesn't necessarily means "initial visit". The 7th character should be used when the patient is undergoing active treatment regardless if new or different providers saw the patient over the course of a treatment. The appropriate 7th character codes should also be used even if the patient delayed seeking treatment for a condition.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like T07.XXXA are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Clinical Classification

Coding Guidelines

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Unspecified multiple injuries (T07). Use the following options for the aplicable episode of care:

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela

Replacement Code

T07XXXA replaces the following previously assigned ICD-10-CM code(s):

  • T07 - Unspecified multiple injuries

Convert T07.XXXA to ICD-9-CM

  • ICD-9-CM Code: 959.8 - Injury mlt site/site NEC
    Approximate Flag - The approximate mapping means there is not an exact match between the ICD-10 and ICD-9 codes and the mapped code is not a precise representation of the original code.

Footnotes

[1] Not chronic - A diagnosis code that does not fit the criteria for chronic condition (duration, ongoing medical treatment, and limitations) is considered not chronic. Some codes designated as not chronic are acute conditions. Other diagnosis codes that indicate a possible chronic condition, but for which the duration of the illness is not specified in the code description (i.e., we do not know the condition has lasted 12 months or longer) also are considered not chronic.
