S22.06 — Fracture of T7-T8 vertebra
Is S22.06 billable?
No — S22.06 is a non-billable header code. S22.06 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 30 billable codes beneath S22.06.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S22
The conditions below can never be reported together with S22.06 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- transection of thorax (S28.1)
Code first — inherited from S22
The underlying condition below must be sequenced before S22.06. S22.06 describes a manifestation and cannot be the principal or first-listed diagnosis.
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S22.06 to fully describe the condition. S22.06 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 S22.06, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S22.06 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S20-S29
The conditions below are not part of S22.06, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S22.06 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- burns and corrosions (T20-T32)
- effects of foreign body in bronchus (T17.5)
- effects of foreign body in esophagus (T18.1)
- effects of foreign body in lung (T17.8)
- effects of foreign body in trachea (T17.4)
- frostbite (T33-T34)
- injuries of axilla
- injuries of clavicle
- injuries of scapular region
- injuries of shoulder
- insect bite or sting, venomous (T63.4)
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S22
The conditions below are not part of S22.06, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S22.06 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also — inherited from S22
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S22.06 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
What codes fall under S22.06? (5)
How long has S22.06 existed?
S22.06 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.
