2025 ICD-10-CM code Y92.119
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Revision Date: N/A Deletion Date: N/A External causes of morbidity - Supplementary factors related to causes of morbidity classified elsewhere External causes of morbidity (V00-Y99) Feed
Unspecified place in a children's home or orphanage as the place of occurrence of the external cause.
The medical necessity is established by the diagnosis and treatment of the injury or illness.The location of the incident, as captured by Y92.119, is supplementary information that provides context but does not determine medical necessity.
The clinical responsibility involves documenting the exact nature of the injury or illness, the location within the children's home or orphanage (if known), and any contributing factors.This information is crucial for appropriate coding and billing.
In simple words: This code tells where something bad happened to a child in a children's home or orphanage, but it doesn't say exactly where.Doctors use this code with another code that describes what happened.
This ICD-10-CM code classifies the location where an external cause of morbidity occurred as an unspecified place within a children's home or orphanage.It is used as a supplementary code to provide additional context regarding the circumstances surrounding the injury or adverse event.This code is never used alone but always in conjunction with a code from another chapter indicating the nature of the injury or condition itself (most often Chapter 19, Injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)).
Example 1: A child falls and fractures their arm while playing in an unspecified area of a children's home.The coder would use a code from Chapter 19 (e.g., S02.2 – Fracture of the humerus) to describe the injury, and Y92.119 to indicate the location occurred in an unspecified area of a children’s home., A child is burned in a fire in a children's home.Codes from Chapter 19 (e.g., T20-T32 range for burns) would be used in addition to Y92.119., A child sustains a head injury during an altercation with another child in a children's home. Codes from Chapter 19 describing the head injury are used along with Y92.119 to indicate the place of the incident.
* Detailed description of the injury or illness.* Precise location of the incident within the children's home or orphanage (if known).* Circumstances surrounding the event.* Medical records supporting the diagnosis and treatment.
** The use of this code is essential for providing a comprehensive picture of the circumstances surrounding an injury or illness in a child residing in a children's home or orphanage.Accurate coding requires careful documentation of all relevant details.
