From Chapter 20 (V00-Y99) External causes of morbidity and mortality applies to 7,461 codes
  • 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.

Questions About Y07Overview

What is the ICD-10 code for perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect?

Y07 is the ICD-10-CM category for perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect, but it is a non-billable header: claims need a more specific code from this category, listed on this page.

Is Y07 (Perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect) a billable code?

No. This is a category header that groups the codes for perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect, and headers cannot be submitted on claims. Claims for perpetrator of assault, maltreatment and neglect need a more specific code from this category, such as Y07.010, Y07.011, and Y07.020.

Can Y07 be reported with a code from Y35?

Not as a rule. The Excludes1 note at block X92-Y09, which applies to Y07, 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).
