Y93.2 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for activities involving ice and snow. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- activity, shoveling ice and snow (Y93.H1)
Other codes that can never be billed with Y93.2
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at Y93.2. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading Y93.2 alone.
- Y93.1Activities involving water and water craft
- Y93.21Activity, ice skating
- Y93.23Activity, snow (alpine) (downhill) skiing, snowboarding, sledding, tobogganing and snow tubing
- Y93.59Activity, other involving other sports and athletics played individually
- Y93.6Activities involving other sports and athletics played as a team or group
Risk adjustment
Y93.2 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.
Code to one of these instead Y93.2
