About the Y02 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section Y02 covers assaults involving pushing or placing a victim directly in front of a moving object, such as a motor vehicle, subway train, or other moving objects, leading to injury. These codes specify the type of moving object involved and the timing of medical encounters.
This code section is used to document injuries sustained when an individual is forcibly pushed or placed in harm’s way before a moving vehicle or object. For example, codes like Y02.0 and its extensions (Y02.0XXA, Y02.0XXD, Y02.0XXS) detail assaults involving motor vehicles, also referred to as assaults involving moving vehicles or pushing into the path of a moving motor vehicle. Similarly, Y02.1 and related codes address assaults involving subway trains, while Y02.8 applies to assaults by other unspecified moving objects. These codes include distinct designations for initial encounters, subsequent encounters, and sequela, allowing precise capture of the injury’s course. Using the correct ICD-10 code for assault by pushing or placing victim in front of moving object ensures clear communication and accurate reporting of this specific external cause of injury.
