V60 — Occupant of heavy transport vehicle injured in collision with pedestrian or animal
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
V60 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for occupant of heavy transport vehicle 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 V60
- 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.
- heavy transport vehicle collision with animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V66.-)
Risk adjustment
V60 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 V60
