How is W07.XXXA listed in the External Cause Index?

  • Fall, fallingout ofchair (accidental)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19

The conditions below can never be reported together with W07.XXXA on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • assault involving a fall (Y01-Y02)
  • fall from animal (V80.-)
  • fall (in) (from) machinery (in operation) (W28-W31)
  • fall (in) (from) transport vehicle (V01-V99)
  • intentional self-harm involving a fall (X80-X81)

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from W00-W19

The conditions below are not part of W07.XXXA, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W07.XXXA and the excluded code may both be reported.

  • at risk for fall (history of fall) Z91.81
  • fall (in) (from) burning building (X00.-)
  • fall into fire (X00-X04, X08)

How long has W07.XXXA existed?

W07.XXXA has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.

Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
