Contact with agricultural machinery (W30)

The ICD-10 code section W30 covers injuries resulting from contact with agricultural machinery. This includes specific codes used to classify incidents involving equipment such as combine harvesters, power take-off devices, hay derricks, grain elevators, and other farm-related machines.

The ICD-10 code for contact with agricultural machinery helps medical coders specify the exact type of equipment involved in an injury. For example, W30.0XXA indicates an initial encounter with a combine harvester injury, also described as accidents caused by a harvester, reaper, or thresher. Other codes include injuries from power take-off devices (W30.1XX), hay derricks (W30.2XX), and grain storage elevators (W30.3XX). The classification extends to other specified machinery like farm tractors or hay mowers (W30.8X), and an unspecified category (W30.9XX) for cases where the exact machine is not identified. Each code also distinguishes between initial, subsequent encounters, and sequela, ensuring precise documentation for injured patients exposed to various agricultural equipment.

Instructional Notations

Includes

This note appears immediately under a three character code title to further define, or give examples of, the content of the category.

  • animal-powered farm machine

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.

  • agricultural transport vehicle accident V01 V99
  • explosion of grain store W40.8
  • exposure to electric current W86

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 W30

7th Character

Indicates that a seventh character is to be assigned to codes in a subcategory.

  • A - initial encounter
  • D - subsequent encounter
  • S - sequela
