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.)
When applicable, place of occurrence, activity and external cause status codes are sequenced after the main external cause code(s). Regardless of the number of external cause codes assigned, there should be only one place of occurrence code, one activity code and one external cause status code assigned to an encounter.
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.
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.

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.
