S25 — Injury of blood vessels of thorax
Not billable
Is S25 billable?
No — S25 is a non-billable header code. S25 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 S25.

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S25 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound (S21.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S25 to fully describe the condition. S25 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 S25, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S25 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S20-S29
The conditions below are not part of S25, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S25 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)

How long has S25 existed?
S25 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.
