S36 — Injury of intra-abdominal organs
Is S36 billable?
No — S36 is a non-billable header code. S36 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 S36.

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S36 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound (S31.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S36 to fully describe the condition. S36 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 S36, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S36 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S30-S39
The conditions below are not part of S36, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S36 and the excluded code may both be reported.
