W31.2: Contact with powered woodworking and forming machines
W31.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for contact with powered woodworking and forming machines. 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.
