Both athletes and non-athletes share many similar soft-tissue injuries. The ICD-10 medical codes used to report different soft-tissue injuries include: Six different STI conditions and their ICD-10 codes, that affect our body’s musculoskeletal system, which require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional are:
Unsp soft tissue disord related to use/pressure, unsp shldr; Overuse disorder of soft tissues, shoulder; Repetitive strain injury of shoulder. ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M70.919. Unspecified soft tissue disorder related to use, overuse and pressure, unspecified shoulder.
Soft tissue swelling ICD-10-CM M79.9 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 555 Signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue with mcc 556 Signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal system and connective tissue without mcc

519: Pain in unspecified shoulder.
512: Pain in left shoulder.
Unspecified injury of shoulder and upper arm, unspecified arm, initial encounter. S49. 90XA is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S49.
311.
The shoulder is made up of two joints, the acromioclavicular joint and the glenohumeral joint. The acromioclavicular joint is where the acromion, part of the shoulder blade (scapula) and the collar bone (clavicle) meet.
6: Pain in thoracic spine.
9: Soft tissue disorder, unspecified.
91XA for Unspecified injury of right shoulder and upper arm, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
ICD-10-CM Code for Complete rotator cuff tear or rupture of right shoulder, not specified as traumatic M75. 121.
Scapular dyskinesis (which may also be referred to as SICK scapula syndrome) is an alteration or deviation in the normal resting or active position of the scapula during shoulder movement. For most people, the scapula moves in abnormal ways due to the repetitive use of the shoulder.
Other specified disorders of bone, shoulder The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M89. 8X1 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Pain between the shoulder blades is common. Doctors refer to this discomfort as interscapular pain. People with shoulder blade pain typically have aching, dull, sore, or shooting pain in the upper part of their back between their shoulder blades.
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. Categories grouped by injury in ICD-9-CM such as fractures (800–829), dislocations (830–839), and sprains and strains (840–848) are grouped in ICD-10-CM by site, such as injuries to the head (S00–S09), injuries to the neck (S10–S19), and injuries to the thorax (S20–S29).
The following coding guidance is provided at the beginning of the chapter, "Use secondary code (s) from chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, to indicate cause of injury." Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. The Official Coding Guidelines clarified the use of external cause codes in 2014. The guidelines state: “There is no national requirement for mandatory ICD-10-CM external cause code reporting. Unless a provider is subject to a state-based external cause code reporting mandate or these codes are required by a particular payer, reporting of ICD-10-CM codes in Chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, is not required. In the absence of a mandatory reporting requirement, providers are encouraged to voluntarily report external cause codes, as they provide valuable data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention strategies.”
Sequela (S) is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. 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. The specific type of sequela (e.g., scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. Sequela is the new terminology in ICD-10-CM for late effects in ICD-9-CM and using the sequela seventh character replaces the late effects categories (905–909) in ICD-9-CM.
For complication codes, active treatment refers to treatment for the condition described by the code, even though it may be related to an earlier precipitating problem. For example, code T84.50XA, Infection and inflammatory reaction due to unspecified internal joint prosthesis, initial encounter, is used when active treatment is provided for the infection, even though the condition relates to the prosthetic device, implant or graft that was placed at a previous encounter.
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.
I would also include the I67.89 and Y84.2
I do know that brain radionecrosis is considered a covered dx for hyperbaric treatment by some payers, but I67.89 and Y84.2 do not seem to be covered on the NCD. On the other hand, L59.8 is covered by the NCD, but I am not sure that diagnosis pertains to the brain.
S42.146A is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of nondisplaced fracture of glenoid cavity of scapula, unspecified shoulder, initial encounter for closed fracture. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Imaging techniques such as X-ray are used to diagnose scapular fracture, but the injury may not be noticed in part because it is so frequently accompanied by other, severe injuries that demand attention. The injuries that usually accompany scapular fracture generally have the greatest impact on the patient's outcome.
When it does, it is an indication that the individual was subjected to a considerable amount of force and that severe chest trauma may be present. High-speed vehicle accidents are the most common cause.
