X36 — Avalanche, landslide and other earth movements
Is X36 billable?
No — X36 is a non-billable header code. X36 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 6 billable codes beneath X36.

Excludes1 — never code together
The conditions below can never be reported together with X36 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- earthquake (X34)
Excludes2 — not included here
The conditions below are not part of X36, but a patient may have both at the same time. When documentation supports it, X36 and the excluded code may both be reported.
- transport accident involving collision with avalanche or landslide not in motion (V01-V99)
Includes
Conditions classified to X36.
