V91.35XA — Hit or struck by falling object due to accident to canoe or kayak, initial encounter
V91.35XA is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for hit or struck by falling object due to accident to canoe or kayak, initial encounter. It is valid for submission on a claim.
7th character "A" — initial encounter
The appropriate 7th character is to be added to each code from category V91
- A
- initial encounter
- D
- subsequent encounter
- S
- sequela
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V91.35XA
These are not written on V91.35XA, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V91.35XA with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above V91.35XA
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of V91.35XA, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Written on V91.3 — Hit or struck by falling object due to accident to watercraft
Other codes that can never be billed with V91.35XA
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V91.35XA. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V91.35XA alone.
- V93Other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft
Risk adjustment
V91.35XA 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
V91.35XA has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
