Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

V09 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for pedestrian injured in other and unspecified transport accidents. 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 V09

A: initial encounter
D: subsequent encounter
S: sequela

Other codes that can never be billed with V09

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V09. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V09 alone.

Risk adjustment

V09 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 V09
