X50.3Overexertion from repetitive movements

X50.3 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for overexertion from repetitive movements. It belongs to category X50 (overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements), block X50 (overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements) 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 X50 (overexertion and strenuous or repetitive movements), X50.3 is specifically for overexertion from repetitive movements. Related codes cover overexertion from strenuous movement or load (X50.0), overexertion from prolonged static or awkward postures (X50.1) and other and unspecified overexertion or strenuous movements or postures (X50.9).

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.

The conditions in its Excludes2 note aren't part of X50.3, but may be coded alongside it if the patient has both: Overuse from prolonged static or awkward postures (X50.1).

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.
