Coding GuidelinesGuidance
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from block Injury of unspecified body region (T14). Use the following options for the applicable episode of care:
- A - initial encounter
- D - subsequent encounter
- S - sequela

Instructional NotesGuidance
Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to T14.90XS: its own notes plus those printed at T14 and Chapter 19. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.
Excludes1
Not coded here: the excluded code is never reported together with this one, unless the two conditions are unrelated.
Excludes2
Not included here: the excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient may have both, so both codes may be reported.
From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
Use Additional Code
Add a second code, after this one, to fully describe the condition.
From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
From Chapter 19 (S00-T88) Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes applies to 41,187 codes
- Use secondary code(s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code
- 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.
7th Character
Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T14
Values for category T14 Encounter: Initial, Subsequent, Sequela
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela this code

Questions About T14.90XSOverview
What is the ICD-10 code for injury, unspecified, sequela?
The ICD-10-CM code for injury, unspecified, sequela is T14.90XS (sometimes written as T1490XS). It is billable on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
Is T14.90XS (Injury, unspecified) a billable code?
Yes. This is a billable ICD-10-CM code, specific enough to report injury, unspecified, sequela on HIPAA-covered claims from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
What does the 7th character S in T14.90XS mean?
The final character S makes this a sequela code: it reports a lingering problem that remains after the injury, unspecified itself has resolved, not the original event.
What MS-DRG does T14.90XS group to?
When injury, unspecified, sequela is the principal diagnosis on an inpatient stay, it groups to MS-DRG 914, 913, with relative weights from 0.9281 to 1.5448 depending on complications. Higher weights mean higher Medicare reimbursement.
Is T14.90XS exempt from POA reporting?
Yes. CMS lists this code among those exempt from present on admission reporting, so hospitals do not assign a POA indicator for injury, unspecified, sequela on inpatient claims. The code appears in the Injury of unspecified body region (T14) range of the CMS exempt list.
