W07 — Fall from chair
Is W07 billable?
No — W07 is a non-billable header code. W07 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 3 billable codes beneath W07.

These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to W07 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.

- Fall, falling › out of › chair (accidental)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below can never be reported together with W07 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below are not part of W07, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W07 and the excluded code may both be reported.
