If you have an suggestion for how ICD.Codes could be better, submit your idea! The ICD-10-CM External Cause Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 0 terms under the parent term 'Gunshot Wound' in the ICD-10-CM External Cause Index .
The 2020 edition of ICD-10-CM S31.000A became effective on October 1, 2019. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of S31.000A - other international versions of ICD-10 S31.000A may differ. Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code S31.000.
Unspecified open wound of lower back and pelvis without penetration into retroperitoneum, initial encounter. S31.000A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM S31.000A became effective on October 1, 2018.
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds.

External cause codes identify the cause of an injury or health condition, the intent (accidental or intentional), the place where the incident occurred, the activity of the patient at the time of the incident, and the patient's status (such as civilian or military).
A gunshot wound is a puncture wound. Puncture wounds do not bleed much unless a blood vessel has been injured. However, an object that goes into the soft tissues beneath the skin can carry germs deep into the body.
Gunshot wounds are complex, violent, traumatic injuries commonly encountered in forensic practice. These injuries are caused by penetration of the body with projectiles ejected from a barrel due to the ignition of gunpowder. The study of these injuries is also called wound ballistics.
ICD-10 code Z98. 890 for Other specified postprocedural states is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Y99. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

External cause codes are used to report injuries, poisonings, and other external causes. (They are also valid for diseases that have an external source and health conditions such as a heart attack that occurred while exercising.)
Penetrating wounds are those in which the missile enters the head and does not exit. Perforating wounds are ones in which the missile enters the head, passes through, and exits the head.
A laceration has jagged, irregular edges and its severity depends on its cause, size, depth, and location. A skin tear is a specific type of laceration that most often affects older adults, in which friction alone or friction plus shear separates skin layers.
The types of open wounds classified in ICD-10-CM are laceration without foreign body, laceration with foreign body, puncture wound without foreign body, puncture wound with foreign body, open bite, and unspecified open wound. For instance, S81. 812A Laceration without foreign body, right lower leg, initial encounter.
The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions. Current burns (T20–T25) are classified by depth, extent, and agent (X code). Burns are classified by depth as first degree (erythema), second degree (blistering), and third degree (full-thickness involvement).
They include electricity and radiation burns. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals. The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions.
The scars are sequela of the burn. When using seventh character S, it is necessary to use both the injury code that precipitated the sequela and the code for the sequela itself. The S is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code. The S seventh character identifies the injury responsible for the sequela.
ICD-10-CM provides greater specificity in coding injuries than ICD-9-CM. While many of the coding guidelines for injuries remain the same as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM does include some new features, such as seventh characters.
