If you have an suggestion for how ICD.Codes could be better, submit your idea! 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 0 terms under the parent term 'Gunshot Wound' in the ICD-10-CM External Cause Index .
The External Cause of Injuries index contains codes found in Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning & certain other consequences of external causes , and Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, of the ICD-10-CM. The codes begin with the letters S and T for Chapter 10, and V, W, X, and Y in Chapter 20.

Activity codes are found in category Y93. They are used to describe the patient's activity at the time of the injury. External cause status codes are found in category Y99.

W25.XXXDXXXD for Contact with sharp glass, subsequent encounter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Other external causes of accidental injury .
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.
An external cause status code is used only once, at the initial encounter for treatment. Only one code from Y99 should be recorded on a medical record.

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 is used only once, at the initial encounter for treatment. Only one code from Y99 should be recorded on a medical record. Do not assign code Y99. 9, Unspecified external cause status, if the status is not stated.

Background: In ICD-10, W16 Diving or Jumping into Water Causing Injury other than Drowning or Submersion consists of a single code and is placed in Unintentional Fall in the ICD-10 External Cause Matrix. In ICD-10-CM, W16 includes multiple codes for falling, jumping or diving into a swimming pool or natural body of water, with separate codes that specify drowning/submersion or other injuries. Similarly, in ICD-10, W22 Striking against or Struck by Other Objects consists of a single code and is placed in Unintentional Struck by/against in the ICD-10 External Cause Matrix. In ICD-10-CM, W22 includes multiple codes for striking against or struck by other objects, including two codes specific to striking against the wall of swimming pool causing drowning and submersion (W22.041) and other injury (W22.042).
Background: Most ICD-10-CM external cause-related codes (V, W, X, Y, and T) have a 7th character that indicates whether the code is associated with the initial encounter (A), subsequent encounter (D), or a sequela (S). The initial encounter character (A) is used while the patient is receiving active treatment (e.g., emergency department encounter, surgery, evaluation and treatment by a new physician) for the condition. The subsequent encounter character (D) is used for encounters after the patient has received active treatment for the condition and is receiving routine care for the injury during the healing or recovery phase. The sequela character (S) is used with any report of a late effect or sequela resulting from a previous injury.
External cause of injury frameworks based on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) have served the injury field in providing standards for presenting and analyzing state, national and international injury mortality and morbidity data. The external cause of injury framework, commonly called the external cause matrix, categorizes ICD codes into major mechanism (e.g., motor vehicle-trac, cut/pierce, drowning, fall, firearm, fire/burn, natural/environmental, poisoning) by intent of injury (i.e., unintentional, self-harm, assault, legal intervention/war, undetermined) categories.
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. The S seventh character identifies the injury responsible for the sequela.
Codes in categories T36–T65 are combination codes that include substances related to adverse effects, poisonings, toxic effects, and underdosing, as well as the external cause. No additional external cause code is required for poisonings, toxic effects, adverse effects, and underdosing codes.
They include electricity and radiation burns. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals. The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions.
The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions. Current burns (T20–T25) are classified by depth, extent, and agent (X code). Burns are classified by depth as first degree (erythema), second degree (blistering), and third degree (full-thickness involvement).
Examples of manifestations are tachycardia, delirium, gastrointestinal hemorrhaging, vomiting, hypokalemia, hepatitis, kidney failure, or respiratory failure. The sequencing for coding an adverse effect is the nature of the adverse effect followed by the appropriate code for the adverse effect of the drug (T36-T50).
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.
