Excludes1 inherited from the categories above Y37.300D

These are not written on Y37.300D, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing Y37.300D with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on Y37.3 Military operations involving fires, conflagrations and hot substances

  • military operations involving fires and conflagrations aboard military aircraft (Y37.1-)
  • military operations involving fires and conflagrations aboard military watercraft (Y37.0-)
  • military operations involving fires and conflagrations caused indirectly by conventional weapons (Y37.2-)
  • military operations involving fires and thermal effects of nuclear weapons (Y36.53-)

Written on Y37 Military operations

Other codes that can never be billed with Y37.300D

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Y37.300D. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Y37.300D alone.

  • V91Other injury due to accident to watercraft
  • V93Other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft
  • W49Exposure to other inanimate mechanical forces
  • Y36Operations of war

Risk adjustment

Y37.300D 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

Y37.300D has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
