About X37.43XA

X37.43XA is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for Tidal wave due to landslide, initial encounter. It belongs to category X37 (cataclysmic storm), block X30-X39 (exposure to forces of nature) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

The 7th character "A" means initial encounter: use it while the patient is receiving active treatment for the condition.

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as E909.8 (other cataclysmic earth surface movements and eruptions).
