Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

This code requires a 7th character

The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V82

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 animal-drawn vehicle or animal being ridden (V82.8)

Other codes that can never be billed with V82.3

Risk adjustment

V82.3 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.

How V82.3 is indexed

Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to V82.3.
