About Y37.A2XS
Y37.A2XS is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for high level blast overpressure in military operations, sequela. It belongs to category Y37 (military operations), block Y35-Y38 (legal intervention, operations of war, military operations, and terrorism) 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 "S" means sequela: use it for complications or conditions that arise as a direct result of the original condition.
It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.
It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.
It was added in FY2026, effective October 1, 2025.
