W00-W19 - Slipping, tripping, stumbling and falls

488 ICD-10-CM codes sit in this section, of which 330 are billable in FY2027. Every one has a page giving the years it was valid and what to use instead when it is not.

Categories

Each of these is a three-character category. Most are not billable on their own - the billable code is one of the children listed on its page.
