Excludes1 inherited from the categories above W29.0XXD

These are not written on W29.0XXD, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing W29.0XXD with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on W29 — Contact with other powered hand tools and household machinery

contact with commercial machinery (W31.82)
contact with hot household appliance (X15)
contact with nonpowered hand tool (W27.-)
exposure to electric current (W86)

Other codes that can never be billed with W29.0XXD

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at W29.0XXD. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading W29.0XXD alone.

W31.82XAContact with other commercial machinery, initial encounter
W31.82XDContact with other commercial machinery, subsequent encounter

Risk adjustment

W29.0XXD 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.

Code history

W29.0XXD has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
