W01.11 — Fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against sharp object
W01.11 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for fall on same level from slipping, tripping and stumbling with subsequent striking against sharp object. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at W01.11. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading W01.11 alone.
Risk adjustment
W01.11 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
