E-codes, or external cause codes, are used as a principal diagnosis when the reason for a patient’s encounter is specifically related to an external cause, such as injuries, accidents, or environmental events. They provide important context for the primary diagnosis, helping to clarify how the injury or condition occurred.

However, they are not typically used as the principal diagnosis in non-injury related encounters.
