Transport accidents (V00-V99)

Browse all the diagnosis codes used for transport accidents (v00-v99). For easy navigation, the diagnosis codes are sorted in alphabetical order and grouped by sections. Each section is clearly marked with its description, and the corresponding three-digit code range. This format makes it simple to browse diagnosis codes in this chapter or section and find what you're looking for. We've also added green checkmark icons to label billable codes, and red warning icons for non-billable ones. This makes it easy to identify which codes can be billed.

Instructional Notations

Use Additional Code

The “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.

• code to identify:
• Airbag injury W22.1
• Type of street or road Y92.4
• Use of cellular telephone and other electronic equipment at the time of the transport accident Y93.C

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.

• agricultural vehicles in stationary use or maintenance W31
• assault by crashing of motor vehicle Y03
• automobile or motor cycle in stationary use or maintenance- code to type of accident
• crashing of motor vehicle, undetermined intent Y32
• intentional self-harm by crashing of motor vehicle X82

Type 2 Excludes

A type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.
