About Y93

Y93 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for activity codes. It belongs to 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 22 subcodes must be used instead.

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: Y93.0 (running), Y93.1 (craft), Y93.2 (snow), Y93.3 (off), Y93.4 (movement), Y93.5 (individually), Y93.6 (group), Y93.7 (athletics) and 14 more.

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

Coding notes

Note
  • Category Y93 is provided for use to indicate the activity of the person seeking healthcare for an injury or health condition, such as a heart attack while shoveling snow, which resulted from, or was contributed to, by the activity. These codes are appropriate for use for both acute injuries, such as those from chapter 19, and conditions that are due to the long-term, cumulative effects of an activity, such as those from chapter 13. They are also appropriate for use with external cause codes for cause and intent if identifying the activity provides additional information on the event. These codes should be used in conjunction with codes for external cause status (Y99) and place of occurrence (Y92).
