what are e codes
What are injury and E-codes? Injury codes are typically any codes that are in the 800s to 900s in the ICD-9 manual. These codes reflect diagnoses or conditions that resulted from some sort of injury, such as a fracture, wound, or bruise. On the other hand, E-codes are used to give more information about the patient's diagnosis code. They are most typically used to give more information about a patient's injury, but you can also use them to report more information about any type of diagnosis.
