This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.
Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:
- S76.399A Other specified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, unspecified thigh, initial encounter
- S76.399D Other specified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, unspecified thigh, subsequent encounter
- S76.399S Other specified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, unspecified thigh, sequela
This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.
What has happened to this code
Every change the publisher made, from 2014 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.
- FY2014 Added to the draft code set draft Other specified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon of the posterior muscle group at thigh level, unspecified thigh
