About X74

X74 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intentional self-harm by other and unspecified firearm and gun discharge. It belongs to block X71-X83 (intentional self-harm) 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.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: X74.0 (guns), X74.8 (discharge) and X74.9 (discharge).

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