The ICD-10-CM External Cause Index is designed to allow medical coders to look up various medical terms and connect them with the appropriate ICD codes. There are 1 terms under the parent term 'Contact With Glass' in the ICD-10-CM External Cause Index .
External cause codes identify the cause of an injury or health condition, the intent (accidental or intentional), the place where the incident occurred, the activity of the patient at the time of the incident, and the patient's status (such as civilian or military).
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.)
To code skin tears, begin in the alphabetic index under “INJURY, SUPERFICIAL,” and iden- tify the site of the injury. For example, if the patient has a skin tear because he or she has hit a leg on a wheelchair, look up Injury, Su- perficial, leg, which takes you to S80. 92-.

Let's walk through an example: If a patient arrives with an acute right anterior cruciate ligament sprain, caused by a slip and fall, the injury and external cause would be reported with the following codes: S83. 511A Sprain of anterior cruciate ligament of right knee, initial encounter. W01.

A skin tear is a specific type of laceration that most often affects older adults, in which friction alone or friction plus shear separates skin layers.
The most commonly used tool for skin tear classification is the ISTAP system (See ISTAP skin tear classification.) Using this system, you can categorize skin tears based on wound characteristics, including the presence and condition of the skin flap.
Answer: If the fracture is repaired through the laceration then we code only the fracture repair – the laceration repair would not be separately reported.
What are lacerations? A laceration or cut refers to a skin wound. Unlike an abrasion, none of the skin is missing. A cut is typically thought of as a wound caused by a sharp object, like a shard of glass. Lacerations tend to be caused by blunt trauma.

A facial laceration is a cut or tear in the soft tissue of your face or neck. Injuries to the face, head and neck, including lacerations, abrasions, hematomas and facial fractures, account for a large number of emergency room visits. Many of these injuries may be repaired by emergency room physicians.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
It means "not coded here". A type 1 excludes note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as W25. A type 1 excludes note is for used for when two conditions cannot occur together , such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
These codes permit the classification of environmental events, circumstances, and conditions as the cause of injury and other adverse effects, and are to be used in addition to codes that report the actual injury.
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.
