Wiki E-Code for Twisting injury

[jccoder]

Wondering what E-code to use when patient presents to ED when they stepped off a curb and sustained an inversion injury to the ankle. Twisting gives me E9278, overexertion & strenuous & repetitive movements or loads??

Yes, twisting codes to E927.8.

That is what we use, too. 3M always prompts us to that code.
