Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

V50 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for occupant of pick-up truck or van injured in collision with pedestrian or animal. 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 V50

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.

pick-up truck or van collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V56.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V50

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V50. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V50 alone.

V86Occupant of special all-terrain or other off-road motor vehicle, injured in transport accident

Risk adjustment

V50 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 V50

9 child codes. Green means billable.
