Is W86 billable?

No — W86 is a non-billable header code. W86 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 9 billable codes beneath W86.

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from W85-W99

The conditions below can never be reported together with W86 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • exposure to:
  • failure in dosage of radiation or temperature during surgical and medical care (Y63.2-Y63.5)
  • lightning (T75.0-)
  • natural cold (X31)
  • natural heat (X30)
  • natural radiation NOS (X39)
  • radiological procedure and radiotherapy (Y84.2)
  • sunlight (X32)

How long has W86 existed?
