W08Fall from other furniture

Not billable

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.

How is W08 listed in the External Cause Index?

These are the routes through the External Cause of Injuries Index that lead to W08 — how the injury happened, rather than what the injury was.

  • Fall, fallingfrom, off, out offurniture NEC (accidental)
  • Fall, fallingfrom, off, out ofstool (accidental)
  • Fall, fallingfrom, off, out oftable (accidental)
  • Fall, fallinginvolvingfurniture NEC (accidental)

  • Fall, fallingout offurniture NEC (accidental)

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.

  • 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 W08, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, W08 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 W08 existed?

W08 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.
