About W31.82

W31.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with other commercial machinery. It belongs to category W31 (contact with other and unspecified machinery), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within W31.8, choose W31.82 (other commercial machinery) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: recreational machinery (W31.81), special construction vehicle in stationary use (W31.83) and other specified machinery (W31.89).

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.

Don't report W31.82 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: contact with household machinery (W29.-) and contact with powered lawn mower (W28).

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

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category W31
