V00: Pedestrian conveyance accident

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

V00 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for pedestrian conveyance accident. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below. This code also requires a 7th character before it is complete.

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V00

A
initial encounter
D
subsequent encounter
S
sequela

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

  • collision with another person without fall (W51)
  • fall due to person on foot colliding with another person on foot (W03)
  • fall from non-moving wheelchair, nonmotorized scooter and motorized mobility scooter without collision (W05.-)
  • pedestrian (conveyance) collision with other land transport vehicle (V01-V09)
  • pedestrian on foot falling (slipping) on ice and snow (W00.-)

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

  • place of occurrence and activity external cause codes, if known (Y92.-, Y93.-)
