Y92.48Other paved roadways as the place of occurrence of the external cause

Y92.48 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other paved roadways 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 4 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y92.4, choose Y92.48 (Other paved roadways as the place of occurrence of the external cause) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: street and highway as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.41).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y92.480 (cause), Y92.481 (cause), Y92.482 (cause) and Y92.488 (cause).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
