E813.1 Motor vehicle traffic accident involving collision with other vehicle injuring passenger in motor vehicle other than motorcycle. Some providers already use these codes voluntarily or when required on auto insurance claims; however, many billers are unfamiliar with external cause codes.
The Y codes contain two important categories: Y92 for place of occurrence of the external cause and Y93, which is an activity code. The guidelines state these codes are to be used with one another, and are only reported on the initial encounter.
ICD-9-CM has been the standard since 1979, but has outlived its usefulness. Because of its structure, ICD-10-CM provides better data for research and statistical analysis than ICD-9-CM. Although there is no national mandate to report them, external cause codes provide a unique opportunity to report significant detail not available in ICD-9-CM.
External cause code reporting is voluntary (but is encouraged) when ICD-10-CM is implemented. It provides the opportunity to report enhanced detail, and could streamline the process of claims submission and payment adjudication. It may also improve the process of data collection for researchers and policy makers. Physicians and coders, however, must take the time to get familiar with coding guidelines and conventions to take advantage of this opportunity provided by ICD-10 .#N#Sources:#N#Medicare Learning Network, ICN 902143, April 2013#N#Complete and Easy ICD-10-CM Coding for Chiropractic, 2nd edition, The ChiroCode Institute, 2013.#N#“ICD-10-CM.
