ICD-10 code: L08. 9 Local infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue, unspecified.
The term “soft tissue injury” is used to describe injuries to the soft tissues in the body, rather than the harder bones. Examples of soft tissue injuries are: • bruises • sprains • muscle contusions.
INTRODUCTION. Soft tissue musculoskeletal disorders refer to nonsystemic, focal pathologic syndromes involving the periarticular tissues, including muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, aponeurosis, retinaculum, bursa, and subcutaneous tissue. These disorders are extremely common.
What is a contusion? A contusion (bruise) is an injury to the soft tissue often produced by a blunt force, such as a kick, fall, or blow. The result will be pain, swelling, and discoloration because of bleeding into the tissue. Treatment for contusions includes rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.).
Other FatigueCode R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness.

Injury, unspecified ICD-10-CM T14. 90XA is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 913 Traumatic injury with mcc. 914 Traumatic injury without mcc.
M61.99 for Calcification and ossification of muscle, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
S49. 92XA - Unspecified injury of left shoulder and upper arm [initial encounter] | ICD-10-CM.
All soft tissue injuries vary in terms of severity, regardless of source: Grade 1 (Mild): These soft tissue injuries occur when the body's fibers are damaged at the microscopic level due to over-stretching, resulting in tenderness or swelling.
For example, if a lesion is excised because of suspicion of malignancy (e.g., ICD-10-CM code D48.5), the Medical Record might include “increase in size” to support this diagnosis. “Increase in size” might also support the diagnosis of disturbance of skin sensation (R20.0-R20.3, R20.8).
Similarly, use of an ICD-10 code L82.0 (Inflamed seborrheic keratosis) will be insufficient to justify lesion removal, without the medical record documentation of the patients' symptoms and physical findings. It is important to document the patient's signs and symptoms as well as the physician's physical findings.
It is the responsibility of the provider to code to the highest level specified in the ICD-10-CM. The correct use of an ICD-10-CM code does not assure coverage of a service. The service must be reasonable and necessary in the specific case and must meet the criteria specified in this determination.
Use 11400 - 11646 for complete lesion excision; don't forget to include margins when using these codes, for example, 11400 (excised diameter 0.5 cm or less), 11401 (excised diameter 0.6 to 1.0 cm).
Removal of Skin tags is coded using 11200 and 11201. CPT 11200 reports up to and including 15 lesions, 11201 is the add-on code used to report each additional 10 lesions, 11201 is listed in addition to the primary procedure 11200 .
