T14.8XXD — Other injury of unspecified body region, subsequent encounter
Is T14.8XXD billable?
Yes, but T14.8XXD is an unspecified code. T14.8XXD is a valid, billable ICD-10-CM code for encounters from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. However, T14.8XXD is an unspecified or catch-all code. Payers apply additional scrutiny to unspecified codes and many deny them when the medical record supports a more specific option, so check the documentation before selecting T14.8XXD.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T14

- multiple unspecified injuries (T07)

Report an additional code alongside T14.8XXD to fully describe the condition. T14.8XXD is sequenced first.
