Today (October 1, 2015) the diagnosis codes known as ICD-10 went live in the US. I was wondering if there are any that are specific to spacecraft, space stations, or hypo- or hyper-gravity?

$\begingroup$ I no longer have access to the reference, but there are/were space related ICD-9 codes as well. It was boggling how specific some codes were(not just the space ones.) Many times looking through that book, see something and think there is no way that has happened more than once... $\endgroup$– Mr.MindorOct 1, 2015 at 19:30

$\begingroup$ @Mr.Mindor you are correct I just checked and found E845.0 ACCIDENT INVOLVING SPACECRAFT INJURING OCCUPANT OF SPACECRAFT $\endgroup$– James JenkinsOct 1, 2015 at 23:10

Yes, shared by MichaelT in The Pod Bay just recently:
There are others that you can search for by keywords on ICD10Data.com, for example:
- 2015/16 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code X52: Prolonged stay in weightless environment
- 2015/16 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T75.81XA: Effects of abnormal gravitation [G] forces, initial encounter
Some of them are billable items, like 2015/16 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code T75.82XA: Effects of weightlessness, initial encounter that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. There go them vomit comet profits :)

Spacecraft collision injuring occupant is actually listed as V95.42XD. In ICD-9 the code is E845.0
You can find the info here: icd10.nuemd.com/icd-10/codes/V95.42XD.

1$\begingroup$ There's no discrepancy, both (1, 2) list V95.42 as "Forced landing of spacecraft injuring occupant". Both also list V95.43 (1, 2) as "Spacecraft collision injuring occupant". I fail to see the point of posting this as a standalone answer just to say there's yet another site with searchable ICD-10 database. $\endgroup$ Nov 11, 2015 at 22:10

$\begingroup$ I edited the question to remove the second link, it felt like spam and did not add value to the answer. $\endgroup$ Nov 11, 2015 at 23:48
