About Y36.82

Y36.82 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for explosion of bomb placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities. 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 Y36.8 (war operations occurring after cessation of hostilities), Y36.82 is specifically for explosion of bomb placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities. Related codes cover explosion of mine placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities (Y36.81), other war operations occurring after cessation of hostilities (Y36.88) and unspecified war operations occurring after cessation of hostilities (Y36.89).

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.
