ICD-10 Code for Injury
The ICD-10-CM code for injury is T14.90 — Injury, unspecified. This is the code the Alphabetic Index gives for injury with no further qualifier, valid for FY2027 (October 1, 2026 – September 30, 2027).
T14.90 cannot be submitted on a claim. It is a header code, so a more specific code from the list below is required.
Which injury code should you use?
The Alphabetic Index lists 1007 codes under Injury. 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.
