About Y69
Y69 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified misadventure during surgical and medical care. It belongs to block Y62-Y69 (misadventures to patients during surgical and medical care) 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.
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 E876.9 (unspecified misadventure during medical care).
