Is S76.31 billable?
No — S76.31 is a non-billable header code. S76.31 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 9 billable codes beneath S76.31.

How is S76.31 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to S76.31. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Injury › muscle › posterior muscle › thigh level › strain
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S76.31 to fully describe the condition. S76.31 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 S76.31, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S76.31 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S70-S79
The conditions below are not part of S76.31, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S76.31 and the excluded code may both be reported.
