Is S31.3 billable?

No — S31.3 is a non-billable header code. S31.3 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 18 billable codes beneath S31.3.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from S31

The conditions below can never be reported together with S31.3 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • traumatic amputation of part of abdomen, lower back and pelvis (S38.2-, S38.3)

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside S31.3 to fully describe the condition. S31.3 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 S31.3, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S31.3 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • birth trauma (P10-P15)
  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39

The conditions below are not part of S31.3, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S31.3 and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • open wound of hip (S71.00-S71.02)
  • open fracture of pelvis (S32.1--S32.9 with 7th character B)

Code also — inherited from S31

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S31.3 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
