Not billable
Is S65 billable?
No — S65 is a non-billable header code. S65 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 S65.

Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S65 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound (S61.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S65 to fully describe the condition. S65 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 S65, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S65 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S60-S69
The conditions below are not part of S65, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S65 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S65 existed?
S65 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.
