ICD-10 Code for Abrasion
The ICD-10-CM code for abrasion is T14.8 — Other injury of unspecified body region. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for abrasion with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
Not billable
T14.8 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.
Which abrasion code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 46 codes under Abrasion. Which one applies depends on the qualifier documented in the record — the type, site, cause, or associated condition. Find the qualifier below, then verify the code in the Tabular List before using it.
