Is V00 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. V00 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does V00 sit in the tabular list?

External causes of morbidity (V00-Y99), in the block Pedestrian injured in transport accident (V00-V09).

What cannot be coded together with V00?

V00 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

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.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V00

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V00. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V00 alone.

V00.1Rolling-type pedestrian conveyance accident
V06Pedestrian injured in collision with other nonmotor vehicle
Y92.81Transport vehicle as the place of occurrence of the external cause
W00Fall due to ice and snow
W03Other fall on same level due to collision with another person
W03.XXXAOther fall on same level due to collision with another person, initial encounter
W03.XXXDOther fall on same level due to collision with another person, subsequent encounter
W03.XXXSOther fall on same level due to collision with another person, sequela

Risk adjustment

V00 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead V00

5 child codes. Green means billable.
