  • V97.810 for Civilian aircraft involved in air transport accident with military aircraft - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use V97.810A for initial encounter - BILLABLE CODE

Type 1 Excludes

Type 1 Excludes
A type 1 excludes note is a pure excludes note. It means "NOT CODED HERE!" An Excludes1 note indicates that the code excluded should never be used at the same time as the code above the Excludes1 note. An Excludes1 is used when two conditions cannot occur together, such as a congenital form versus an acquired form of the same condition.
  • aircraft accident NOS V95.9
  • exposure to changes in air pressure during ascent or descent W94
