About X94

X94 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for assault by rifle, shotgun and larger firearm discharge. It belongs to block X92-Y09 (assault) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: X94.0 (shotgun), X94.1 (rifle), X94.2 (gun), X94.8 (discharge) and X94.9 (discharge).

Don't report X94 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: airgun (X95.01).

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