This code requires a 7th character
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V10
- 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.
- pedal cycle rider collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V16.-)
Other codes that can never be billed with V10
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V10. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V10 alone.
Risk adjustment
V10 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.
