About X81.0XXA
X81.0XXA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intentional self-harm by jumping or lying in front of motor vehicle, initial encounter. It belongs to category X81 (intentional self-harm by jumping or lying in front of moving object), block X71-X83 (intentional self-harm) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.
The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E958.0 (suicide and self-inflicted injury by jumping or lying before moving object).
