S96 — Injury of muscle and tendon at ankle and foot level
Is S96 billable?
No — S96 is a non-billable header code. S96 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 S96.

Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of S96, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S96 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Code also
Two codes may be needed to describe the condition fully. Whether S96 is sequenced first depends on the reason for the encounter.
- any associated open wound (S91.-)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside S96 to fully describe the condition. S96 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 S96, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S96 and the excluded code may both be reported.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from S90-S99
The conditions below are not part of S96, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, S96 and the excluded code may both be reported.

How long has S96 existed?
S96 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.
