ICD-10-CM › S00-T88 › T66-T78 › T75.8 Other specified effects of external causes › T75.81

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 3 more specific codes instead:

• T75.81XA Effects of abnormal gravitation [G] forces, initial encounter
• T75.81XD Effects of abnormal gravitation [G] forces, subsequent encounter
• T75.81XS Effects of abnormal gravitation [G] forces, sequela

This code requires a seventh character. See the rule below.

What has happened to this code

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from T75 Other and unspecified effects of other external causes

Seventh character required

• The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category T75

Excludes1 - never coded here

• adverse effects NEC (T78.-)

Excludes2 - not included here

• burns (electric) (T20-T31)

Inherited from the T66-T78 section Other and unspecified effects of external causes (T66-T78)

Code also

• , if applicable, place of occurrence, such as:
• highway rest stop (Y92.523)
• school (private) (public) (state) as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.21-)
• service areas as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.52-)
• single-family non-institutional (private) house as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.01-)
• transport vehicle as the place of occurrence of the external cause (Y92.81-)
