Y92.81Transport vehicle as the place of occurrence of the external cause

Y92.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for transport vehicle 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within Y92.8 (other places as the place of occurrence of the external cause), Y92.81 is specifically for transport vehicle as the place of occurrence of the external cause. Related codes cover wilderness area (Y92.82), recreation area as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.83), military training ground as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.84), Railroad track as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.85), Slaughter house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.86) and other specified places as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y92.810 (cause), Y92.811 (cause), Y92.812 (cause), Y92.813 (cause), Y92.814 (cause), Y92.815 (cause), Y92.816 (cause) and Y92.818 (cause).

Don't report Y92.81 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: transport accidents (V00-V99).

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