Y92.12Nursing home as the place of occurrence of the external cause

Y92.12 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for nursing home 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 9 subcodes must be used instead.
