2025 ICD-10-CM code Y92.014
The code identifies a private driveway to a single-family house as the place where an external cause of injury or morbidity occurred.
Modifiers are not applicable to ICD-10-CM codes.
Medical necessity is determined by the primary diagnosis, not the place of occurrence.However, the location may be relevant to the overall clinical picture and should be documented accurately.
Clinicians should use this code as a supplementary code to provide further detail about the circumstances of the injury or condition. It is not intended to describe the nature of the condition itself, but rather where it occurred. The primary diagnosis code should describe the injury or condition.
- 20 (External causes of morbidity)
- Y92.014 falls within the block Y92.01-Y92.09, which further specifies the location within a residential setting as the place of occurrence.It is under the larger block of Y92 which specifies the place of occurrence of the external cause. It is under the chapter 20 block of External causes of morbidity (V00-Y99)
In simple words: This code indicates that the injury or other health issue happened in the driveway of a private single-family home.
Private driveway to single-family (private) house as the place of occurrence of the external cause
Example 1: A patient falls and fractures their wrist in the driveway of their single-family home. The primary code would be for the wrist fracture (e.g., S52.501A), and Y92.014 would be a supplementary code., A child is struck by a car while playing in their driveway. The primary code(s) would be for the injuries sustained (e.g., superficial injuries, fractures, internal injuries), and Y92.014 would be supplementary., A patient trips over a hose in their driveway and sprains their ankle. The primary code would be the ankle sprain (e.g., S03.401A), with Y92.014 as a supplementary code.
Documentation should clearly support the location of the event leading to the injury or condition. The medical record should indicate that the incident occurred on the private driveway of a single-family residence.
** It is crucial to accurately assign the primary diagnosis code that reflects the nature of the injury or medical condition the patient is being treated for. This supplementary code adds context to the incident, but the medical necessity and billing are primarily driven by the main diagnosis.This code is exempt from the Present On Admission (POA) reporting requirement.
