Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

V92.07 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for drowning and submersion due to fall off water-skis. 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 V92

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.

drowning and submersion due to falling off burning water-skis (V90.27)
drowning and submersion due to falling off crushed water-skis (V90.37)
hit by boat while water-skiing NOS (V94.-)

Other codes that can never be billed with V92.07

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at V92.07. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading V92.07 alone.

V92.1Drowning and submersion due to being thrown overboard by motion of watercraft
V92.27Drowning and submersion due to being washed overboard from water-skis
V92.27XADrowning and submersion due to being washed overboard from water-skis, initial encounter
V92.27XDDrowning and submersion due to being washed overboard from water-skis, subsequent encounter
V92.27XSDrowning and submersion due to being washed overboard from water-skis, sequela

Risk adjustment

V92.07 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 V92.07 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 V92.07.
