Questions About T14Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for injury of unspecified body region?

T14 is the ICD-10-CM category for injury of unspecified body region, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is T14 (Injury of unspecified body region) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for injury of unspecified body region, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for injury of unspecified body region need a more specific code from this category, such as T14.8XXA, T14.8XXD, and T14.8XXS.

Can T14 be reported with T07?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note on T14 lists "multiple unspecified injuries (T07)". 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).
