T14.9 — Unspecified injury
Is T14.9 billable?
No — T14.9 is a non-billable header code. T14.9 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 6 billable codes beneath T14.9.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from T14
The conditions below can never be reported together with T14.9 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- multiple unspecified injuries (T07)
Use additional code — inherited from Chapter 19
Report an additional code alongside T14.9 to fully describe the condition. T14.9 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 T14.9, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, T14.9 and the excluded code may both be reported.
