In medicine, an external cause is a reason for the existence of a medical condition which can be associated with a specific object or acute process that was caused by something outside the body.
External cause of injury codes are used to define environmental events, circumstances and conditions such as the cause of injury, poisoning, and other adverse effects related to injury morbidity and mortality.
An external cause status code should be assigned whenever an external cause code is assigned. Only one status code may be reported at the initial encounter and, just like the Activity and Place of Occurrence codes, Y99. 9 Unspecified External Cause status should not be reported if it is not stated within the record.
Striking against or struck by other objects, initial encounter 1 V00-Y99#N#2021 ICD-10-CM Range V00-Y99#N#External causes of morbidity#N#Note#N#This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects. 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

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.
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.
