X00.2 — Injury due to collapse of burning building or structure in uncontrolled fire
X00.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for injury due to collapse of burning building or structure in uncontrolled fire. 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.
This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category X00
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- injury due to collapse of building not on fire (W20.1)
Other codes that can never be billed with X00.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at X00.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading X00.2 alone.
Risk adjustment
X00.2 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.
How X00.2 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to X00.2.
- Collapse›building›burning(uncontrolled fire)
- Collapse›structure›burning(uncontrolled fire)
- Exposure›fire, flames›uncontrolled›in building or structure›with›injury due to building collapse

Questions about X00.2
- Is X00.2 a billable ICD-10-CM code?
- No. X00.2 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.
- Where does X00.2 sit in the tabular list?
- External causes of morbidity (V00-Y99), in the block Exposure to smoke, fire and flames (X00-X08).
- What cannot be coded together with X00.2?
- X00.2 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.
