ICD 10 Code S46

Injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at shoulder and upper arm level
“Injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at shldr/up arm” for short

S46 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at shoulder and upper arm level. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.

↓ See below for any exclusions, inclusions or special notations

Code also

  • any associated open wound (S41.-)

Excludes2

  • injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at elbow (S56.-)
  • sprain of joints and ligaments of shoulder girdle (S43.9)

More specific codes
7th Character selection:

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category S46

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
More specific codes:

A more specific code should be selected. ICD-10-CM codes are to be used and reported at their highest number of characters available. A 3-character code is to be used only if it is not further subdivided. A code is invalid if it has not been coded to the full number of characters required for that code, including the 7th character, if applicable.
