Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V85.9XXD
These are not written on V85.9XXD, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V85.9XXD with anything listed here is a denial.
Other codes that can never be billed with V85.9XXD
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V85.9XXD. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V85.9XXD alone.
- V83Occupant of special vehicle mainly used on industrial premises injured in transport accident
Risk adjustment
V85.9XXD 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 history
V85.9XXD has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
