ICD-10 Code for Contusion

Also indexed as (skin surface intact)

The ICD-10-CM code for contusion is T14.8 — Other injury of unspecified body region. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for contusion 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 contusion code should you use?

The Alphabetic Index lists 107 codes under Contusion. 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.
