About W01.118D
W01.118D is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against other sharp object, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category W01 (fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling), block W00-W19 (slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E888.0 (fall resulting in striking against sharp object).
