About X37

X37 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cataclysmic storm. It belongs to 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: X37.0 (Hurricane), X37.1 (Tornado), X37.2 ((snow)(ice)), X37.3 (storm), X37.4 (Tidalwave), X37.8 (storms) and X37.9 (storm).

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