About Y36.14

Y36.14 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for war operations involving destruction of aircraft due to accidental detonation of onboard munitions and explosives. It belongs to category Y36 (operations of war), block Y35-Y38 (legal intervention, operations of war, military operations, and terrorism) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y36.1 (war operations involving destruction of aircraft), Y36.14 is specifically for war operations involving destruction of aircraft due to accidental detonation of onboard munitions and explosives. Related codes cover unspecified destruction of aircraft (Y36.10), due to enemy fire or explosives (Y36.11), due to collision with other aircraft (Y36.12), due to onboard fire (Y36.13) and other destruction of aircraft (Y36.19).

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.
