W08 — Fall from other furniture
Is W08 billable?
No — W08 is a non-billable header code. W08 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 W08.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W00-W19
The conditions below can never be reported together with W08 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 W08, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W08 and the excluded code may both be reported.
