External cause codes are never reported as primary, that is they cannot be assigned as a principal diagnosis. They never reported alone. They can be reported with any condition due to an external cause and are not limited to injuries or poisonings.
External cause codes are used to report injuries, poisonings, and other external causes. (They are also valid for diseases that have an external source and health conditions such as a heart attack that occurred while exercising.)
An external cause status code should be assigned whenever an external cause code is assigned. Only one status code may be reported at the initial encounter and, just like the Activity and Place of Occurrence codes, Y99. 9 Unspecified External Cause status should not be reported if it is not stated within the record.
When applicable, place of occurrence, activity and external cause status codes are sequenced after the main external cause code(s). Regardless of the number of external cause codes assigned, there should be only one place of occurrence code, one activity code and one external cause status code assigned to an encounter.
Assault ICD-10-CM Code range X92-Y09.
For confirmed cases of abuse, neglect, and other maltreatment, an external cause code from the Assault section (X92-Y08) should be assigned to identify the cause of any physical injuries; also, a perpetrator code (Y07) should be assigned when the perpetrator of the abuse is known.
An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law.
A physical altercation is generally a confrontation, tussle or physical aggression that may or may not result in injury. Physical altercations are distinguished from verbal altercations by the use of physical force or contact.
