• Use the full range of external cause codes to completely describe the cause, the intent, the place of occurrence and if applicable, the activity of the patient at the time of the event, and the patients status, for all injuries and other health conditions due to an external cause.
External cause codes are intended to provide data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention strategies.
Sequelae (Late Effects) of External Cause Guidelines
External cause status codes are found in category Y99. A code from category Y99 should be assigned with another external cause code except for codes signifying poisoning, adverse effect, misadventure or late effect.
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.
Y92ICD-10 code Y92 for Place of occurrence of the external cause is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - External causes of morbidity .
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.
The external cause-of-injury codes are the ICD codes used to classify injury events by mechanism and intent of injury. Intent of injury categories include unintentional, homicide/assault, suicide/intentional self-harm, legal intervention or war operations, and undetermined intent.
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.)
Generally, a place of occurrence code is assigned only once, at the initial encounter for treatment. However, in the rare instance that a new injury occurs during hospitalization, an additional place of occurrence code may be assigned. No 7th characters are used for Y92.
ICD-10 code O80 for Encounter for full-term uncomplicated delivery is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium .
There is no national requirement for mandatoryICD-10-CM external cause code reporting.
