ICD-10 Code for Frozen
The ICD-10-CM code for frozen is T69.9 — Effect of reduced temperature, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for frozen with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
T69.9 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.
Which frozen code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 3 codes under Frozen. 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.
By type
| pelvis | N94.89 | Other specified conditions associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle |
Frozen pelvis
| male | K66.8 | Other specified disorders of peritoneum |
