Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used secondary to a code from another chapter of the Classification indicating the nature of the condition. Most often, the condition will be classifiable to Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes ( S00-T88 ). Other conditions that may be stated to be due to external causes are classified in Chapters I to XVIII. For these conditions, codes from Chapter 20 should be used to provide additional information as to the cause of the condition.#N#External causes of morbidity 2 W20-W49#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range W20-W49#N#Exposure to inanimate mechanical forces#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#assault ( X92-Y09)#N#contact or collision with animals or persons ( W50-W64)#N#exposure to inanimate mechanical forces involving military or war operations ( Y36.-, Y37.-)#N#intentional self-harm ( X71-X83)#N#Exposure to inanimate mechanical forces 3 W22#N#ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code W22#N#Striking against or struck by other objects#N#2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#striking against or struck by object with subsequent fall ( W18.09)#N#Striking against or struck by other objects 4 W22.8#N#ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code W22.8#N#Striking against or struck by other objects#N#2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Non-Billable/Non-Specific Code#N#Applicable To#N#Striking against or struck by object NOS#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#struck by thrown, projected or falling object ( W20.-)#N#Striking against or struck by other objects
W22.8XXA describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury.
27301-LT indicates an incision and drainage of a deep abscess of the thigh or knee region. Modifier -LT is correct for the left thigh. L02.414 reports a cutaneous abscess of the upper left limb. Notice that the surgeon "opened some of the fascia" in the thigh region. This is considered a fasciotomy. There is a separate code for fasciotomy (27025); but it is not separately reported in this case as the fascia incision is included in the I&D, which is the more comprehensive procedure.
24515-LT indicates open treatment of humeral shaft fracture with plates/screws with modifier -LT to indicate the left side; S42.352B reports comminuted and open fracture of the shaft of the left humerus.The following statement from the operative report confirms that the fracture is of the humeral shaft: "We then were able to strip the periosteum away from the lateral side of the shaft of the humerus both proximally and distally from the fracture site."
27252-RT is a closed treatment of a traumatic hip dislocation with the use of general anesthesia. You know the treatment was closed by the statement"the Allis maneuver is used to repair an anterior dislocation of the right hip,"which is used to maneuver the bone back into alignment from the outside (closed treatment). Modifier -RT indicates right side. S73.031A is correct for anterior dislocation (subluxation) of the right hip, and code W11.XXXA describes an initial encounter for a fall from a ladder. Y92.214 identifies a college as the place of occurrence. Y93.H9 reports the patient was performing maintenance work when the accident occurred.

After an exam was performed of the shoulder area, the physician performs an I&D of the hematoma, which is located just below the fascia.

The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (also known by the acronym ICD) is a health care classification system used to classify diseases, symptoms, signs, abnormal findings, social circumstances, complaints and external causes of injury or disease.
On December 7, 2011, CMS released a final rule updating payers' medical loss ratio to account for ICD-10 conversion costs. Effective January 3, 2012, the rule allows payers to switch some ICD-10 transition costs from the category of administrative costs to clinical costs, which will help payers cover transition costs.
The ICD-10 transition is a mandate that applies to all parties covered by HIPAA, not just providers who bill Medicare or Medicaid.
On January 16, 2009, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the final rule mandating that everyone covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) implement ICD-10 for medical coding.
The S seventh character identifies the injury responsible for the sequela. The specific type of sequela (e.g., scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. Sequela is the new terminology in ICD-10-CM for late effects in ICD-9-CM and using the sequela seventh character replaces the late effects categories (905–909) in ICD-9-CM.
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds. Categories grouped by injury in ICD-9-CM such as fractures (800–829), dislocations (830–839), and sprains and strains (840–848) are grouped in ICD-10-CM by site, such as injuries to the head (S00–S09), injuries to the neck (S10–S19), and injuries to the thorax (S20–S29).
Sequela (S) is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. The scars are sequela of the burn. When using seventh character S, it is necessary to use both the injury code that precipitated the sequela and the code for the sequela itself. The S is added only to the injury code, not the sequela code.
ICD-10-CM provides greater specificity in coding injuries than ICD-9-CM. While many of the coding guidelines for injuries remain the same as ICD-9-CM, ICD-10-CM does include some new features, such as seventh characters.
Correctly coding the fracture ensures the provider will be reimbursed for appropriate follow-up visits and that the patient can receive appropriate outpatient (i.e . PT, imaging, etc.) services . Uncomplicated follow-up visits may be bundled by a payor.
Clinical Documentation#N#1. I CD-10-CM can now capture the side and specific bone or joint. Including the specific information ensures the correct “side” code is assigned.#N#2. Be as specific as possible when describing the effects of the condition.
RLE: open fracture of the mid-shaft region of the femur. Wound is approximately 15 cm in length and the bone fragments show injury to bone and periosteum (Gustilo Type IIIB); at least three fragments are visible. No apparent nerve or vascular injuries are noted.
Active and passive range of motion remain to right shoulder is significantly decreased .
Identifying the affected side is important, as some payers will not reimburse claims with “unspecified” codes.
