About Y08.0

Y08.0 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for assault by strike by sport equipment. It belongs to category Y08 (assault by other specified means), 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 3 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y08 (assault by other specified means), Y08.0 is specifically for assault by strike by sport equipment. Related codes cover other specified means (Y08.8).

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.
