W05.0Fall from non-moving wheelchair

W05.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for fall from non-moving wheelchair. It belongs to category W05 (fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter), 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.

Within W05 (fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter), W05.0 is specifically for fall from non-moving wheelchair. Related codes cover nonmotorized scooter (W05.1) and motorized mobility scooter (W05.2).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

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