ICD-10-CM Code S22.079 Unspecified fracture of T9-T10 vertebra. ICD Code S22.079 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use specify a 7th character that describes the diagnosis 'unspecified fracture of t9-t10 vertebra' in more detail.
ICD Code S22.07 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the five child codes of S22.07 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of t9-t10 vertebra' in more detail. A chest injury is any form of physical injury to the chest including the ribs, heart and lungs.
S22.07 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S22.07 became effective on October 1, 2020.
S23.153A 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 S23.153A became effective on October 1, 2021.
6: Pain in thoracic spine.
This injury is called a chest wall bruise (contusion). Injury to the chest wall may result in pain, tenderness, bruising, and swelling. It may also result in broken ribs and injured muscles. These cause pain, often during breathing.
9: Soft tissue disorder, unspecified.

922.1 - Contusion of chest wall | ICD-10-CM.
A chest contusion, or bruise, is caused by a fall or direct blow to the chest.
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.).
The release of the 2020 Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting (OCG) has resulted in confusion and apprehension surrounding the intent of the new guideline related to the new ICD-10-CM codes for pressure-induced deep-tissue damage, or deep-tissue pressure injury (L89. -6).
The new codes for deep-tissue injury, which specify the affected body part and laterality, include codes such as:L89. 126, pressure-induced deep tissue damage of left upper back.L89. 156, pressure-induced deep tissue damage of sacral region.
ICD-10 code T14. 90XA for Injury, unspecified, initial encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes .
9: Fever, unspecified.
The ICD 10 coding scheme for reporting injury is as follows:First three characters: General category.Fourth character: The type of injury.Fifth character: Which body part was injured.Sixth character: Which hand was injured.Seventh character: The type of encounter (A, D, or S)
Bruising can take between 2-4 weeks to heal. Taking deep breaths and coughing are important normal actions that our bodies do every day. They help us to avoid developing chest infections.
A contusion can be minor or severe, and may result in heavy swelling or significant swelling. Generally, contusion is considered a more serious injury compared to a concussion, because it involves structural damage to the brain's blood vessels.
Initial treatment for contusion should include rest, icing the affected area for 20 minutes, and applying a compression wrap to help minimize swelling. If there is an accompanying open wound, keep the area clean and bandaged.
Most contusions simply need time to heal. Soft tissue contusions can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to heal. Bone contusions may take longer — usually a couple of months — depending on how severe the injury is.
For codes less than 6 characters that require a 7th character a placeholder 'X' should be assigned for all characters less than 6. The 7th character must always be the 7th position of a code. E.g. The ICD-10-CM code T67.4 (Heat exhaustion due to salt depletion) requires an Episode of Care identifier.
A chest injury is any form of physical injury to the chest including the ribs, heart and lungs. Chest injuries account for 25% of all deaths from traumatic injury. Typically chest injuries are caused by blunt mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions or penetrating mechanisms such as stabbings.
