S35.1 — Injury of inferior vena cava

Not billable

Is S35.1 billable?

No — S35.1 is a non-billable header code. S35.1 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 12 billable codes beneath S35.1.

Excludes1 — never code together

The conditions below can never be reported together with S35.1 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • injury of vena cava NOS (S25.2)

Inclusion terms

Alternative wording in documentation that is classified to S35.1.

  • Injury of hepatic vein

Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19

Report an additional code alongside S35.1 to fully describe the condition. S35.1 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify any retained foreign body, if applicable (Z18.-)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 19

  • obstetric trauma (O70-O71)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
