About Y29.XXXD

Y29.XXXD is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for contact with blunt object, undetermined intent, subsequent encounter. It belongs to category Y29 (contact with blunt object, undetermined intent), block Y21-Y33 (event of undetermined intent) 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 "D" means subsequent encounter: use it for encounters after active treatment, while the patient is healing or recovering.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

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 E988.8 (injury by other specified means, undetermined whether accidentally or purposely inflicted).
