Activity, gymnastics 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 Billable/Specific Code POA Exempt Y93.43 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM Y93.43 became effective on October 1, 2020.
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds.
Again, if you know where the injury occurred (e.g., gym, athletic field, or swimming pool), you should code for it using an appropriate place of occurrence code. You will also find these codes in chapter 20.
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.

The codes for the fractures of the tibia and fibular are unspecified because the information we had to code from was from the press and not an actual medical record. The seventh character assignment for each of these fracture codes allowed us to show that this was the initial encounter for an open fracture of a long bone despite not having access to the physician’s Gustilo classification designation for these open fractures.
We did not assign an external cause status code because this information was not provided and the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for Coding and Reporting instruct us not to assign this code if we don’t know the patient’s status.
S82.402B Unspecified fracture of shaft of fibular, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II, initial encounter for open fracture NOS
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Y93.5 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Y93.5 describes the circumstance causing an injury, not the nature of the injury.
Y93.5 should not be used for reimbursement purposes as there are multiple codes below it that contain a greater level of detail.
Y93.43 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Activity, gymnastics . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
They are also appropriate for use with external cause codes for cause and intent if identifying the activity provides additional information on the event. These codes should be used in conjunction with codes for external cause status ( Y99) and place of occurrence ( Y92 ).
Y93.43 is exempt from POA reporting ( Present On Admission).
In ICD-10-CM, injuries are grouped by body part rather than by category, so all injuries of a specific site (such as head and neck) are grouped together rather than groupings of all fractures or all open wounds. Categories grouped by injury in ICD-9-CM such as fractures (800–829), dislocations (830–839), and sprains and strains (840–848) are grouped in ICD-10-CM by site, such as injuries to the head (S00–S09), injuries to the neck (S10–S19), and injuries to the thorax (S20–S29).
For complication codes, active treatment refers to treatment for the condition described by the code, even though it may be related to an earlier precipitating problem. For example, code T84.50XA, Infection and inflammatory reaction due to unspecified internal joint prosthesis, initial encounter, is used when active treatment is provided for the infection, even though the condition relates to the prosthetic device, implant or graft that was placed at a previous encounter.
The classes are I, II, and III, with the third class further subdivided into A, B, or C.
Sequela (S) is used for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. 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. The specific type of sequela (e.g., scar) is sequenced first, followed by the injury code. Sequela is the new terminology in ICD-10-CM for late effects in ICD-9-CM and using the sequela seventh character replaces the late effects categories (905–909) in ICD-9-CM.
The following coding guidance is provided at the beginning of the chapter, "Use secondary code (s) from chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, to indicate cause of injury." Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code. The Official Coding Guidelines clarified the use of external cause codes in 2014. The guidelines state: “There is no national requirement for mandatory ICD-10-CM external cause code reporting. Unless a provider is subject to a state-based external cause code reporting mandate or these codes are required by a particular payer, reporting of ICD-10-CM codes in Chapter 20, External Causes of Morbidity, is not required. In the absence of a mandatory reporting requirement, providers are encouraged to voluntarily report external cause codes, as they provide valuable data for injury research and evaluation of injury prevention strategies.”
When coding a poisoning or reaction to the improper use of a medication (e.g., overdose, wrong substance given or taken in error, wrong route of administration), assign first the appropriate code from categories T36–T50. The sequencing for a toxic effect of substances chiefly nonmedicinal as to source (T51-T65) is the same as for coding poisonings. Poisoning codes have an associated intent: accidental, intentional self-harm, assault, and undetermined. Use additional code (s) for all manifestations of poisonings.
You will find injury codes in chapter 19 of the tabular list. As you search for the code that best—and most specifically—represents a patient’s injury, you should consider the following factors, as noted here:
Whereas ICD-9 contains approximately 13,000 diagnosis codes, ICD-10 has around 68,000 —an increase of more than fivefold. With so many codes to choose from, how can you be sure you’re selecting the right one—or even looking in the right place? Well, two of the main reasons patients seek physical therapy are injury and/or pain. So, let’s start there. Here are a few pointers for coding pain and injuries in ICD-10:
S – Sequela: This indicates that the injury has caused another condition for which the patient is seeking treatment. As the above-cited article explains, this character applies to “complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of an injury, such as scar formation after a burn. The scars are sequelae of the burn. When using extension 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.”
But that golden drop of wisdom doesn’t just apply to zip codes and cross streets. For physical therapists, location is probably the most important factor to consider when selecting the ICD-10 code that best describes a patient’s pain.
Description of injury: Left knee strain that occurred on a private recreational playground when a child jumped off of a trampoline and landed incorrectly.
Whenever possible, you should account for the cause of the injury (e.g., sports, motor vehicle accident, or slip and fall) and/or the activities leading up to the injury by submitting applicable external cause codes along with the injury code. We’ll talk more about external cause codes in a blog post later this month, but for now, just know that you will find them in chapter 20.
If you are rehabbing the injury, then I would sequence the injury code first. While you can certainly include appropriate pain and weakness codes to indicate secondary diagnoses, "pain management" episodes of care—that is, episodes in which the main purpose of the services provided is to manage pain—typically wouldn't include injury rehab. I hope this helps!
