About W24

W24 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with lifting and transmission devices, not elsewhere classified. It belongs to block W20-W49 (exposure to inanimate mechanical forces) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: W24.0 (classified) and W24.1 (classified).

Don't report W24 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: transport accidents (V01-V99).

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