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.
Use of Z codes in any healthcare setting: Z codes may be used as either a first-listed or secondary code depending on circumstances. Z codes indicated a reason for an encounter. Not procedure codes--a corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code to describe any procedure performed.
Y92.017 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of garden or yard in single-family (private) house as the place of occurrence of the external cause. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.

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.
