S34 — Injury of lumbar and sacral spinal cord and nerves at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level
Not billable
Is S34 billable?
No — S34 is a non-billable header code. S34 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 S34.
