About W22.03XA

W22.03XA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Walked into furniture, initial encounter. It belongs to category W22 (striking against or struck by other objects), block W20-W49 (exposure to inanimate mechanical forces) 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 "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.

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 E917.3 (striking against or struck accidentally by furniture without subsequent fall).
