Excludes1 inherited from the categories above V91.87XS

These are not written on V91.87XS, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing V91.87XS with anything listed here is a denial.

Written on V91 — Other injury due to accident to watercraft

civilian water transport accident involving military watercraft (V94.81-)
military watercraft accident in military or war operations (Y36, Y37.-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above V91.87XS

Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of V91.87XS, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.

Written on V91 — Other injury due to accident to watercraft

drowning and submersion due to accident to watercraft (V90.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V91.87XS

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V91.87XS. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V91.87XS alone.

V93Other injury due to accident on board watercraft, without accident to watercraft

Risk adjustment

V91.87XS 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

V91.87XS has not changed since FY2024 — no addition, revision or deletion across the three most recent ICD-10-CM releases.
