About W24.0XXA
W24.0XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with lifting devices, not elsewhere classified, initial encounter. It belongs to category W24 (contact with lifting and transmission devices, not elsewhere classified), 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 E919.2 (accidents caused by lifting machines and appliances).
