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.)
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.
If two or more events cause separate injuries, an external cause code should be assigned for each cause.

The use of external cause of morbidity codes is supplemental to the application of ICD- 10-CM codes. External cause of morbidity codes are never to be recorded as a principal diagnosis (first-listed in non-inpatient settings). The appropriate injury code should be sequenced before any external cause codes.
If the intent (accident, self-harm, assault) of the cause of an injury or other condition is unknown or unspecified, code the intent as accidental intent.
External cause codes may be used in any healthcare setting and with any diagnostic code. a. often used in ED, family practice, orthopedics, and ophthalmology b/c physicians specialize in circumstances or body systems frequently affected by external causes.

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 W00-W19#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range W00-W19#N#Slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls#N#Type 1 Excludes#N#assault involving a fall ( Y01 - Y02)#N#fall from animal ( V80.-)#N#fall (in) (from) machinery (in operation) ( W28 - W31)#N#fall (in) (from) transport vehicle ( V01 - V99)#N#intentional self-harm involving a fall ( X80 - X81)#N#Type 2 Excludes#N#at risk for fall (history of fall) Z91.81#N#fall (in) (from) burning building ( X00.-)#N#fall into fire ( X00 - X04, X08)#N#Slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls
