W05Fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter

W05 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter. It belongs to block W00-W19 (slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 3 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: W05.0 (wheelchair), W05.1 (scooter) and W05.2 (scooter).

Don't report W05 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: fall from moving wheelchair (powered) (V00.811), fall from moving motorized mobility scooter (V00.831) and fall from nonmotorized scooter (V00.141).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
