About coding adrenal gland injury
The ICD-10-CM code for adrenal gland injury is S37.819 (Unspecified injury of adrenal gland). The official index lists 3 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on S37.819.
Within S37.81, choose S37.819 (Unspecified injury of adrenal gland) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: contusion of adrenal gland (S37.812), laceration of adrenal gland (S37.813) and other injury of adrenal gland (S37.818).
Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
