S30.22XA vs S30.22XS
S30.22XA (Contusion of scrotum and testes, initial encounter) compared with S30.22XS (Contusion of scrotum and testes, sequela), from the official CMS tabular data. S30.22XA and S30.22XS code the same injury at a different phase of treatment.
Can these codes be reported together?
Same injury, other encounter phase. S30.22XA and S30.22XS code the same injury at a different phase of treatment, set by the 7th character.
The 7th character records the type of care given at the encounter being coded (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.C.19.a), so one encounter takes one of these, not both.
