Y92.049Unspecified place in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause

Y92.049 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified place in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause. It belongs to category Y92 (place of occurrence of the external cause), block Y90-Y99 (Supplementary factors related to causes of morbidity classified elsewhere) 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.

Within Y92.04, choose Y92.049 (Unspecified place in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: kitchen in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.040), bathroom in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.041), Bedroom in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.042), driveway of boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.043), garage of boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.044), swimming-pool of boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.045), garden or yard of boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.046) and other place in boarding-house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.048).

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

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

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 E849.0 (home accidents).
