S35 — Injury of blood vessels at abdomen, lower back and pelvis level
Is S35 billable?
No — S35 is a non-billable header code. S35 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 S35.

How long has S35 existed?
S35 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.
