Intentional self-harm by other specified means (X83) ICD-10-CM

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.

7th Character Note
Certain ICD-10-CM categories have applicable 7th characters. The applicable 7th character is required for all codes within the category, or as the notes in the Tabular List instruct. The 7th character must always be the 7th character in the data field. If a code that requires a 7th character is not 6 characters, a placeholder X must be used to fill in the empty characters.
- The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category X83
7th Character

About the X83 Code Range
Intentional self-harm in this category involves an aircraft crash, electrocution, exposure to extreme cold, or another specified means.
Within X83, the subdivisions separate these means: X83.0 for aircraft crashes, X83.1 for electrocution, X83.2 for extreme cold, and X83.8 for other specified means. The seventh character distinguishes an initial encounter (A), a subsequent encounter (D), or a sequela (S), meaning a later effect.
