S80.8 — Other superficial injuries of lower leg
Not billable
Is S80.8 billable?
No — S80.8 is a non-billable header code. S80.8 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 54 billable codes beneath S80.8.
