What does POA exempt mean in ICD-10-CM?

A POA exempt code does not require a Present On Admission indicator on inpatient claims. CMS exempts codes that always describe circumstances rather than acute conditions, such as external cause codes, sequela codes, and status Z codes.

How many ICD-10-CM codes are POA exempt in FY2027?

CMS lists 38,399 ICD-10-CM codes as exempt from POA reporting for FY2027. Most come from chapter 19 (injury and poisoning, largely sequela codes) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity).

What POA indicator is used for an exempt code?

No indicator is required. On the UB-04 or 837I claim, the POA field for an exempt code is left blank. Y, N, U or W must not be reported for codes on the exempt list.
