Instructional NotesGuidance

Instructions from the official ICD-10-CM Tabular List that apply to Y93: its own notes plus those printed at block Y90-Y99 and Chapter 20. A note printed at a category, block or chapter applies to every code under it.

Notes

General instructions on how these codes are used.

On Y93 itself
  • Category Y93 is provided for use to indicate the activity of the person seeking healthcare for an injury or health condition, such as a heart attack while shoveling snow, which resulted from, or was contributed to, by the activity. These codes are appropriate for use for both acute injuries, such as those from chapter 19, and conditions that are due to the long-term, cumulative effects of an activity, such as those from chapter 13. They are also appropriate for use with external cause codes for cause and intent if identifying the activity provides additional information on the event. These codes should be used in conjunction with codes for external cause status (Y99) and place of occurrence (Y92).
  • This section contains the following broad activity categories:
  • Y93.0 Activities involving walking and running
  • Y93.1 Activities involving water and water craft
  • Y93.2 Activities involving ice and snow

From Block Y90-Y99 Supplementary factors related to causes of morbidity classified elsewhere applies to 334 codes
  • These categories may be used to provide supplementary information concerning causes of morbidity. They are not to be used for single-condition coding.
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.
