Code Classification

  • External causes of morbidity and mortality
    (V01–Y99)
    • Transport accidents
      (V00-V99)
      • Pedestrian injured in other and unspecified transport accidents
        (V09)

V09.20 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of pedestrian injured in traffic accident involving unspecified motor vehicles. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like V09.20 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Specific Coding Applicable to Pedestrian injured in traffic accident involving unsp mv

Non-specific codes like V09.20 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for pedestrian injured in traffic accident involving unsp mv:

  • Use V09.20XA for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use V09.20XD for subsequent encounter - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use V09.20XS for sequela - BILLABLE CODE
