About X36.0
X36.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for collapse of dam or man-made structure causing earth movement. It belongs to category X36 (Avalanche, landslide and other earth movements), block X30-X39 (exposure to forces of nature) 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 X36 (Avalanche, landslide and other earth movements), X36.0 is specifically for collapse of dam or man-made structure causing earth movement. Related codes cover Avalanche, landslide, or mudslide (X36.1).
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.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
