S14 — Injury of nerves and spinal cord at neck level
Not billable
Is S14 billable?
No — S14 is a non-billable header code. S14 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 60 billable codes beneath S14.

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S14 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
Note
- Code to highest level of cervical cord injury
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S14 to fully describe the condition. S14 is sequenced first.
- code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19
The conditions below are not part of S14, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S14 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S10-S19
The conditions below are not part of S14, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S14 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S14 existed?
S14 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
