ICD-10-CM 2027
ICD-10 code for contusion
From the official ICD-10-CM alphabetic index entry “Contusion (skin surface intact)”. Page updated September 29, 2026.
About coding contusion
The ICD-10-CM code for contusion is T14.8 (Other injury of unspecified body region). The official index lists 200 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on T14.8.
Within T14, choose T14.8 (Other injury of unspecified body region) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified injury (T14.9).
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 changed in FY2018 (expanded into subcodes).
