Notes
General instructions on how these codes are used.
- This chapter permits the classification of environmental events and circumstances as the cause of injury, and other adverse effects. Where a code from this section is applicable, it is intended that it shall be used secondary to a code from another chapter of the Classification indicating the nature of the condition. Most often, the condition will be classifiable to Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88). Other conditions that may be stated to be due to external causes are classified in Chapters I to XVIII. For these conditions, codes from Chapter 20 should be used to provide additional information as to the cause of the condition.
7th Character
Every code in the category takes a 7th character from the listed values, with the placeholder X filling any empty positions before it.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category Y02
- Ainitial encounter
- Dsubsequent encounter
- Ssequela

Questions About Y02Overview
What is the ICD-10 code for assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object?
Y02 is the ICD-10-CM category for assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.
Is Y02 a billable code?
No. This is a category header that groups the codes for assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object need a more specific code from this category, such as Y02.0XXA, Y02.0XXD, and Y02.0XXS.
Can Y02 be reported with a code from Y35?
Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block X92-Y09, which applies to Y02, lists "injuries due to legal intervention (Y35.-)". An Excludes1 note means the excluded code is never reported together with this one; the only exception is when the two conditions are unrelated to each other (Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
