Y92.8Other places as the place of occurrence of the external cause

Y92.8 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for other places 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 7 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y92, choose Y92.8 (Other places as the place of occurrence of the external cause) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: non-institutional (private) residence as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.0), Institutional (nonprivate) residence as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.1), school, other institution and public administrative area as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.2), sports and athletics area as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.3), street, highway and other paved roadways as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.4), trade and service area as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.5), industrial and construction area as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.6), farm as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.7) and 1 more.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y92.81 (cause), Y92.82 (area), Y92.83 (cause), Y92.84 (cause), Y92.85 (cause), Y92.86 (cause) and Y92.89 (cause).

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