About W22.042S
W22.042S is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for striking against wall of swimming pool causing other injury, sequela. 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 "S" means sequela: use it for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
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 E929.8 (late effects of other accidents).
