X82.8Other intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle

X82.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle. It belongs to category X82 (intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle), 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.

Within X82, choose X82.8 (Other intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: intentional collision of motor vehicle with other motor vehicle (X82.0), intentional collision of motor vehicle with train (X82.1) and intentional collision of motor vehicle with tree (X82.2).

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.
